Screencasting Framework

The following document is a written account of the Code School screencasting framework. It should be used as a reference of the accompanying screencast on the topic.

Why you should care about screencasting?

You're probably aren't going to take the time to read this document if you're not interested, but there are a lot of nice side effects caused by learning how to create quality screencasts.

1. Communicating more effectively - At Envy Labs we produce screencasts for our clients all the time. Whether it's demoing a new feature or for a presentation for an invester, they're often much more effective and pleasent than a phone call or screen sharing.

Optimizing Rails Static Assets on Heroku Cedar

Serving Rails static assets is hard, especially on Heroku Cedar where Heroku forces Rails to serve static assets itself (which isn't particularly performant nor worth your dyno-dollar)---this is different than Heroku Bamboo which used Varnish and is no more. To make the best of the situation, I highly recomend:

1. Using the Heroku-Deflater gem which will selectively gzips assets (it gzips text-based files; and excludes images or binary files, which can actually be bigger when gzipped)

2. Configure your production environment to set cache-control headers and get out of denial about how static assets are being served on Heroku Cedar

3. Use AWS Cloudfront (or a CDN of your choosing) to serve the assets. Cloudfront is great because you can use the same Distribution

How to get started with Web Design?

A site that I like to point people to is dontfeartheinternet.com. It has great videos to learn the basics.

There are lots of people that blog interesting stuff, but it's kinda hard to name just a few. Sooner or later you'll find them by Googling or on Twitter.

I'm not really into reading books and rather learn by just experimenting. Maybe tools like codepen.io or cssdeck.com let you play around and see the result instantly updated.

There are also some online learning services like codecademy.com or teamtreehouse.com that teaches more in an interactive way.

I'm planning on either writing this up in detail or maybe doing a screencast about screencasting, but I'll give a short version here.

On sound quality:

This matters a lot. In decreasing order of importance:

1. Remove echo. You have to hear this to understand. Set up a mic in front of your mouth and record a sentence. Then, put a thick comforter over you and the mic and say it again at the same distance. Listen to
