Coding on RISC OS Introduction videos released

To everyone interested,
I just made a new chunk of videos about coding on RISC OS available on the RISC OC Community on GitHub Youtube channel.

Intro plus code examples in Python, Lua, BBC BASIC, C, C++ and GNU Assembly (and more programming language videos coming next).

Official channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@RiscosCommunityOnGithub/videos

This new playlist only link here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEnraaJ9VQfXFQCVSmUgabVmdvqmLDgZZ

Hope people will enjoy this new chunck like the previous one, cheers,
- Paolo

;) I’m interested.

Something that would help is some feedback on them to help us understand their relevance not only to newcomers but to existing RISC OS users and developers interested in Coding.

Join in, and let us know your thoughts.

The videos are well produced, interesting and most importantly provide useful information on programming on RISC OS. I have only seen the videos that were shown during the fireside chat on Saturday so far but I intend watch them again over the next week and follow along with the code myself so I will try and provide further feedback shortly.

Thanks for the effort people have made in creating this video series.

Well done. I’ve only skimmed through, but it’s good to see things like the shared makefiles being used instead of reinventing the wheel :)

Thanks for the feedback :)

This new set of videos seems to be having a lot of success, views are almost already matching previous set (which has been published now for 2 months), we where a bit worried that the code details might bore or scare away people, but it seems quite the opposite actually.

The great news is most of the views are (according to YouTube stats) from outside the UK! So far:

Total           395 views

United Kingdom  139 views, 35.2%

United States    16 views,  4.1%

Germany          13 views,  3.3%

Other countries 227 views, 57.4%

[Edit]
We now have also views from France! Merci! :)

Good videos! It was a nice meeting. When I went to look I noticed most of the code wasn’t up on Github yet, but it looks like the C++ one has been added now. The python link is a 404 though still.

Thanks a lot for your feedback! :)

Yes, sorry, my fault, got busy at work and then family, so had not much time to publish all the code yet.

At the moment I have published:

- GNU Assembly code example
- DDE C++ code example
- DDE C code example

I hope I’ll have enough time tomorrow to upload also Python and Lua code examples. Again sorry for the waiting.

ALL,
thank you very much, we have officially passed more than 1000 views and more than 60 hours video watching, this is awesome and showing there is a lot of interest on learning how to code on RISC OS and with different programming languages!

If you have any request please let us know, here, via email, on GitHub, twitter or whatever is your favorite way.

In case you wish to see what has already been requested, here is a list, feel free to comment/add your suggestions etc:

P.S. I still need to add the suggestions from the last meeting, sorry had not much time lately.

The next ‘Coding on RISC OS’ fireside chat is on Saturday 3rd June 2023 (ie. not far off now), though as it’s June it may be a poolside chat instead as summer approaches in the northern hemisphere.

If you have a particular interest in a programming language or dialect for RISC OS and fancy making a tutorial about it, there’s detail here of the next step in the tutorial videos (the previous step is on youtube and introduction to Git too).

To make a video you just need

• A means of recording the RISC OS screen while you talk
• A means of recording a narration (eg. a mobile phone)

You don’t need to appear in the video, so they can be recorded in your pyjamas. Paolo edits them together to make them look pretty with captions and similar.

I’ve bagged the ‘C’ one, maybe you’re interested in BASIC or Perl or one of the other common languages?
