I have done so in the past. But they are a game streaming site. The only 
development streams meant to take place there is for games. So no I 
won't be.

The book I am making is available at[0]. For published versions

Published version will not be free, but the raw resources used

The book's purpose is to not teach D. Instead it focuses on 
teaching programming concepts and ideas using D as a base.
Assuming the book creation is a success I have a few other 
books in the pipeline. The second book will be covering sockets 
and threading via IRC/XMPP. Third would be Web development. 
Fourth UI's.


There has already been a few streams, so content has already 
got a good start. If there is interest, I may stream some of 
Devisualization project development.


Usually the stream will last 2-3 hours depending upon how many 
watch and interact.


A couple days ago livecoding.tv came out of closed beta. Feel 
free to join!
Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with livecoding.tv. Although 
the devs are great.

That's pretty cool. I didn't know a service like this existed. I 
hope all goes well...


What will be your development environment?

Yeah, thanks. I'll be starting in about half an hour.

The streaming machine is pretty complex so:

Host machine Mac book pro ~ half a year to a year old (extremely good specs)
Host OS: OSX 10.10
Streaming software: OBS (the new cross platform version)
Music playing software: VLC on host
Now playing text exporter for VLC: 
https://gist.github.com/rikkimax/39b46f7ff3aa0c93b5cf

VLC to OBS: http://rogueamoeba.com/freebies/soundflower/
VM system: Parallels 10
VM OS: Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon
Other software: Remarkable[0], git

Nothing really big difference between fresh install of the distro.

The font size is a bit off. What with the Retina resolution. But 
generally I have increased the font size up enough that people can see 
it well.
