Creating screencasts about advanced programming has been my mission since discovering and falling in love with the (no-longer-active) Destroy All Software series.
On my channel (Semicolon&Sons), the focus is on:
- concepts with a tech shelf-life of approximately "one career" (e.g. unix, SQL, system design) rather than on fad frameworks (e.g. whatever JS framework is popular today)
- production codebases (real users, real money, real legacy) rather than toy examples. I base my screencasts off lessons I've learned running my software product over 10+ years.
- tradeoffs rather than overconfidence in trending principles
- I also add in a softer, more business-oriented twist, based on my own background as an independent software entrepreneur: my screencasts have a strong focus on what it takes to market a piece a software, to help the users who'll benefit from your software actually discover it and take a chance with it. This translates into videos on SEO, Analytics, AdWords etc.
