digitalmars.D.announce - Streaming, making a book!

I'm starting a live stream[1] for making a book.
The book is The way to program - Lets think like a D(eveloper)

For now I will only commit to Mondays 12pm UTC+0.
I may stream at random times beyond that. Check my Twitter as to when 
that might be[2].

The book I am making is available at[0]. For published versions of it[3].
Published version will not be free, but the raw resources used to create 
it are under a creative commons license.

The book's purpose is to not teach D. Instead it focuses on teaching 
programming concepts and ideas using D as a base.
Assuming the book creation is a success I have a few other books in the 
pipeline. The second book will be covering sockets and threading via 
IRC/XMPP. Third would be Web development. Fourth UI's.

There has already been a few streams, so content has already got a good 
start. If there is interest, I may stream some of Devisualization 
project development.

Usually the stream will last 2-3 hours depending upon how many watch and 
interact.

A couple days ago livecoding.tv came out of closed beta. Feel free to join!

are great.

That's pretty cool. I didn't know a service like this existed. I hope all goes well... What will be your development environment?

Yeah, thanks. I'll be starting in about half an hour.
 What will be your development environment?
The streaming machine is pretty complex so: Host machine Mac book pro ~ half a year to a year old (extremely good specs) Host OS: OSX 10.10 Streaming software: OBS (the new cross platform version) Music playing software: VLC on host Now playing text exporter for VLC: https://gist.github.com/rikkimax/39b46f7ff3aa0c93b5cf VLC to OBS: http://rogueamoeba.com/freebies/soundflower/ VM system: Parallels 10 VM OS: Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon Other software: Remarkable[0], git Nothing really big difference between fresh install of the distro. The font size is a bit off. What with the Retina resolution. But generally I have increased the font size up enough that people can see it well. [0] http://remarkableapp.net/

I have done so in the past. But they are a game streaming site. The only development streams meant to take place there is for games. So no I won't be.
