Sorry, I guess I was so excited about all the videos that I forgot to say
thanks. So here it is: thanks!

Sorry if this is off topic, but I just watched "Macros Matter," and I was
thinking how much more enjoyable the RacketCon videos would be if they were
of a similar format that had the screen constantly visible and in focus.

Would the bootstrapworld videos be applicable here too?  I was about

Cool!
As I hesitate to edit myself, and since I don't see any "Discussion" page
like on Wikipedia, I'll say it here:
I think it would be better to reorganize the videos from friendlier to more
technical, e.g.:
Tutorials and Demos
Talks
Interviews
Research talks
More

I can of course edit it myself if any PLT member agrees with this.

Ok, I've started this page:

 https://github.com/plt/racket/wiki/Videos

Please fill in whatever I've missed! (The page already has more on it
than I expected to find, so I'm sure I've missed things.)

I also updated the web page (needs upload) to point to the videos page.
but I didn't yet try to link to key videos.

I agree. Listing important videos on unlikely-to-go-away sites seems
important.

1. Pointing to the wiki from racket-lang.org is a good idea. 

2. But I agree with the original proposal that we really may wish to list key 
videos at the main site directly. It is a service to our community.

Maybe the main site could just point to the wiki for extra learning
materials.

I like this idea.  It does seem like this kind of page would be more
dynamic than the static pages on the main web site.  Maybe it could
fit into the wiki at https://github.com/plt/racket/wiki, and then if
the content crystalizes, then reorganized into the main site?

[racket-dev] Racket learning page videos

2013-01-29 Thread Nick Shelley
I recently came across a presentation on the Racket way by Matthew Flatt (
http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Racket) and thought that it would be
nice to be able to discover this and similar things more easily. I really
like how all the publications are available on the Racket learning page.
Would it be a good idea to also add links to videos such as this one? I
also think Racket-con videos (or at least the link to the YouTube channel)
would be good to have there.
