    You could show a block diagram of your code and where you are in that diagram. Maybe at bottom, a now coding: x indicator.
  • Yeah it's much longer than I wanted. I'm trying to add images to make it more interesting. Chances are high however I'm going to end up deleting them. Will get a BRIEF preview of the images soon. They aren't through the hole video. I just try to get them in to the more dry parts.
  • More Illustrations:

    Less Dry:

    It will be easy to delete the "less dry" stuff. It's just incredibly boring when I'm writing code while not really introducing anything new and interesting.
  • Keith, the only suggestion I have for the long coding section is to run it faster, and or add some chatter to get them through.

    People can read quick and or pause. Maybe edit the code sections to be played back at 2 maybe 3 times normal. Try it with the keyboard sounds left in too. Might be cool, and it's a signal at to what is happening.
  • I'll sound like the chipmunks hehe. I tried. What I plan to do is have a button in the YouTube video itself which will say something like "Skip to completed code" and can really bring the viewing time of the video down to probably 15 minutes if they keep clicking those fast forward buttons.

    Did you see the version with the "funny" pictures? I tried putting them where they don't interfere with the code. Hopefully they make the video less boring without being overly obnoxious.
