My OSCON slides online (zc.buildout)

After a few attempts to make my screencast look nice under Google Video, I decided I would just upload the original ones (.mov and .m4v files) and a PDF export of my presentation.

So everything is available here: http://ziade.org/oscon

Slides: http://ziade.org/oscon/oscon.pdf

The .mov files are streamed automatically in your browser I believe, not the m4v ones.

Thanks to Jim Fulton for the quick feedback.

  1. Could you publish the slides in a non-video format as well?

  2. Very useful screencast. Looking forward forward to watch the screencast with better quality.

    Where can I get the paster template to create buildout recipes?

  3. @Mariuse: Done !

    @Danny: if you want other screencasts let me know, I am mastering the process now, I do them quickly ;) .

    The paster template for recipes is in ZopeSkel:

    $ easy_install ZopeSkel
    $ paster create -t recipe my.recipe.here

  4. @Tarek: Now I can see clearly how to create a simple buildout recipe and how zc.buildout is connected with setuptools. Much easier than what I thought! Thanks

  5. Nice webcasts! Here’s a tip though, you might want to customize your prompt (PS1) so that it stands out more, that way it’d be a lot easier to follow where each command was typed and where the output ended. My prompts looks like this:

    and that way the commands are effectively delimited with the use of color.
