vlog about Guile

[randomlooser]

Hello

I'm Catonano, from a brand new email address

I'm trying to diminish the role of Google in my life, gradually

I made a couple of videos about Guile

They are an experiment

In the videos I explain, in my own terms, how to read a line delimited
file in Guile scheme

Here they are
https://peertube.social/videos/watch/playlist/03ebdbfb-7285-4d1f-8787-01de111a6d6d

It's not a groudbreaking use case

My assumption is that the person(s) watching these videos may be a 
beginner, not only in scheme or Guile, but in programming in general

In fact, I go through what I think is the discovery process in
painstaking detail and slowliness

I was inspired by this talk
https://archive.fosdem.org/2017/schedule/event/legacy_docs/

and this blog post
https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/learning-a-language/

I mention both in the introduction

In the past I hinted at how I feel that the Guile documentation is
lacking in some regards

So I made these videos as an experiment

In the future I could try to cover more use cases

Some remarks:

It's not written material, it's video

This alone is a stark departure from the usual style of materials
discussing Guile

It's not feature oriented, it's use case oriented

I introduce open-input-file, read-line and with-input-from-file as the
need arises, not based on where they are in the manual

It's incomplete and maybe even incorrect in some aspects

But it strives to provide the watcher with a bit of immediate reward

This is another striking departure from the usual

I understand that to many people here, the case of reding a file in
painstaking detail and slowness is not exactly fun

You need to put yourself in someone else's shoes to watch this

Anyway, i thought it was useful to mention this here

Thanks

Just watched them.  Nice.  Keep up the good work.  Of course, i
was (only) slightly disappointed not to see Emacs in action,
but... no big deal.  :-D

Could you post what programs you used to create the video?

Thank you, I appreciate that

I'm a bit scared of Geiser because my experiences with it are not
pleasant

But surely it deserves a video, it's a subject in itself

I used obs for recording the monitor where I show the terminal

I used KDEnlive for montaging

I used Syncthing for transferring the files containing the shooting of
my face talking from the phone to the pc. Now I'm mumbling that rsync
would be probably faster, the files tend to be quite large

That's all

I've also been doing guile programming and putting the videos online.
It's somewhat educational, in that I try to explain what I do as I do
it.  But I'm also trying to do things that I do NOT know how to do.
Maybe some people will find it useful.

Hello Joshua!

I just visited your channel on hardlimit and looked at your videos,
positively surprised to also see some web development videos for Guile!

Would you create a playlist there, just like you did for your GNU Guix
videos? That would make it easier for people to watch your GNU Guile web
development videos in the correct order. I found it a bit difficult to
find all parts of your web development series.

https://video.hardlimit.com/search?search=Guile%20Web%20Development%20Pure%20Guile%20Part%201

That is what I am looking at currently. It does not show part 1, so
perhaps
https://video.hardlimit.com/videos/watch/93ba1b4d-a98c-456f-8d1b-e1794a0346e6
is part 1, or it is another series.

If you create a playlist, it would also make it easier to link to that,
and I would like to make a section, if there is none yet, on the
guile-awesome list for such content and link to it there.

Also great GNU Guix content you have there. Not sure I will have the
time and energy to watch all that, but perhaps at some point.

EDIT: I just realized, that the GNU Guix playlist has no videos in it:
https://video.hardlimit.com/video-channels/the_gnu_guy/video-playlists.
Anyway, playlists would be great, seeing, that the search function does
not show all parts of your various series of videos.

Regards,
Zelphir

Re: vlog about Guile

I would love to figure out how to make playlists.  Everytime I try to
make a playlist on hardlimit, I can't seem to figure it out.

Is there something that I'm missing?

Hi!

I am sorry, I have not used hardlimit or peertube myself yet, except for
watching videos, so I am of no help there.

You should be able to create playlists via
https://video.hardlimit.com/my-account/video-playlists.
Indeed, it seems like you've already created a 'GNU Guix' playlist
under the the_gnu_guy channel account.

To add videos to a playlist, you have to open each video page, and to
the bottom right of the video player, there should be a "Save" button
which you can click and choose playlists to add the video to.

Hope this helps.
