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.

Week 1 Homework

• Complete the ruby koans
• Use RSpec to test-drive a solution to either:
  • Bowling Kata, or
  • Harry Potter Kata
• Write a 10 minute presentation about the topic card you pick
• BONUS: clone Corey Haines' [practice repo] [1], and use it to help you complete a Game of Life solution.
  • You will need to research [cucumber] [2] and [bundler] [3]
• Use cucumber and rspec to help guide your code

Feature: Summing numbers
  In order to understand the gherkin syntax
  As someone new to cucumber
  I want a simple example

  Scenario: Summing two positive numbers
    Given the first number is 1
    And the second number is 2
    When I sum the numbers
    Then the answer is 3
