I am stoked about downloading it when I get back from dinner. Going to play with the drawing API tonight!

Here is the video for Assignment 2B.  Course materials can be downloaded from the CS193p website, although they may be removed at the start of the fall semester.

Here is the video for Assignment 1.  Course materials can be downloaded from the CS193p website, although they may be removed at the start of the fall semester.

I am going to try and go with Vimeo for the time being but this video is also on Viddler.

I just finished recording a walkthrough of assignment 1 and it is uploading to a few sites so I can compare them.  I have never really done any screencasts aside from a few simple “how to use this page I just made” videos for work using camtasia (and those sucked I am sure), so as I post these, let me know how I can improve not only the code but also my presentation skills.

Before I post any of the videos I did want to put down a disclaimer:

I am not associated with the CS193p course or Monotouch.  All code you see in the screencasts may not be best practice and as Monotouch is in beta, functionality may be different at the time of your viewing of this video.

I will try and update videos as I get feedback and as the project advances if need be.

Please provide any feedback you wish, but constructive feedback is what is going to most help shape these videos into something truly useful.

I hope you enjoy messing with Monotouch as much as I am.

I am going to be recording Assignments 1 and 2 of CS193p only using Monotouch tomorrow. After I record assignment 1, I am going to see what service suits me best and run with it. If anyone has a suggestion for what works best with the idea that I will be mainly concerned with displaying screencasts, let me know here or via twitter

A few days ago I was lucky to become a part of the Monotouch beta program and I must say that I cannot believe how cool it is so far.  I have seen a few screencasts from people making hello world (or really button press counter) apps and thought, “Hell, I was going through the Stanford Iphone class, why not do all the assignments using Monotouch?”  Last night I ran through Assignment 2B and I am going to attempt a screencast with my very best Ron Burgundy voice in the next few days.  I will tag any posts related to this endeavor with ‘monotouch’ so feel free to follow along.

If anyone has some suggestions for good screen recording software on OSX feel free to comment, I am new to the mac world and have only ever used Camtasia on windows.

Also expect a post soon giving a run down of my experience and what I hope any posts I make gains in terms of feedback. I will say though that I am by no means an expert and anything I code might not be best practice.  If you have a better/different way of doing anything please give me some feedback as my first motive in this is improving myself and any help I can give anyone else through this is just gravy on the potatoes.
