This is seriously cool. Watching live programs in execution appeals more to me than just watching a video for some reason.
I hope there's other language support in the future. Good luck!

Re: Watch someone else code and learn
#12Great concept. Watching other people code is a great way to learn AND teach. Really would like to see this for Obj C / other languages. Python would be an easy one to do.

#13Awesome idea. But the site is giving me 500 error after 2-3 clicks.
Same here, I look forward to checking it out though

#14ditto
- love it
- wish there were more languages (I vote Python & ObjC)

#15I just discovered Notch's screen captures of his development process: http://www.twitch.tv/notch/videos Interesting to see that it isn't as different from mine as I expected.
I wish more people screencast like Notch. He spends most of his time coding, and very little talking to the camera.
Most people who code for the camera thinks it's the 'Me Show!' and act like a starlet.
He also codes from scratch, without practicing beforehand. (At least, not that exact problem.) This means you get to see his thought process and all his trial-and-error. When watching most tutorials, they've got it all planned out beforehand and it doesn't teach you to think, just to copy.

#17First off, that site is simply gorgeous. Seriously. Secondly, I have a request to the makers of the site: Could you make this open-source? Or at least make the platform available for other people to create lessons on? I think something like this would make computer science education amazingly simple to share around the world. Given some additional plug-ins, this platform could move beyond the simpler html/css/javascr…
Creator of TCP here.
Great that you like the site. The site will become available for others soon so that everyone can code and share their knowledge. Currently we are working on making the platform and the playback technology robust.
Currently it supports HTML, CSS, JS. We are currently focusing on these 3 technologies only for now.
Because a lot of our resources are going into the development of the playback feature we have kept on-site features like upvoting, etc on the lower priority side. But they will be seen soon.
Great that you like it :)

#18In general this is very cool. Some constructive criticism: 1) I was really expecting an actual programming language instead of "just" HTML/CSS. 2) When watching some of the CSS demos, the switch back and forth between the HTML tab and the CSS tab was pretty jarring. I'd like to be able to see both at all times. 3) It took more clicks than expected to get things started.
1) Currently we got HTML, CSS, and JS(and JS libraries). We will work on including more languages soon.
2) The swapping of editors is to provide more space to the active editor, when we tested using all editors simultaenously, the lack of space for each editor made it difficult for the users to track the code. They would be completely lost if the author scrolled down rapidly.
3) Noted, we are already working on to speed up the site and remove all these bugs.

#19ruby_on_tails, who's apparently the author of the site, has been dead-banned, probably for suspected spam, even though I think that the mods/algorithms have had a heavy hand: he submited two links to his site in two months, and the second one was flagged, even though it was on topic.
It would be nice if he could be unbanned.

#20Nice. Suggestion: Make the default walkthrough speed only 4x. 10x is too fast.
