Hello everyone, I took the initiative of creating a screencast to help with the setup of the Derby environment. In my experience and from what I have been able to see, the learning curve for getting started with development on Derby is a bit steep, so I thought that the community could benefit from what seems to be the fashion nowadays: a screencast. It's usually easier and more interesting to be taught rather than reading page-loads of information so that was my motivation to do the said screencast.
Here's the link to it: http://www.vimeo.com/5376690 Note that you do have the option of going full-screen (so that you can see all the details), and it's on Vimeo for two reasons: it allows me to upload HD content and allows me to upload quite big videos. Vimeo seems to be a bit commercial though, so in the long run perhaps it'd be a good idea if this was self-hosted. Anyway, after talking with Kathey on IRC, she appreciated the idea and asked me to post it to the list, so that it could eventually get posted on the website. At this point I'd like to get feedback on the video itself; the things that you think I should change and redo and whether you agree that this should be posted up on the website. I welcome suggestions and critics, so please bring them on. In the future we could eventually have more screencasts, like for instance how to setup Derby in an embedded environment. But that would be for further along the path. Right now, this one video is what I have. Cheers, Tiago
