Live streaming your code is an educational and invigorating experience for the streamer and the audience. If you've never seen live coding, check out the popular twitch.tv channel. We are actively looking for more streamers of all levels to code JavaScript on the Free Code Camp channel.
If you...
- Want the immediate positive help and feedback of other coders
- Aren't afraid to try something new
- Code JavaScript, HTML, or CSS you should give it a try!
Please follow these steps to get started:
Get your computer set up to stream. This process varies depending on your operating system, and it usually involves downloading software to integrate with Twitch. Most Free Code Camp users use OBS, but you can find all of the supported software on Twitch's site. Another helpful tutorial connecting OBS and Twitch can be found here.
Contact Briana via gitter or twitter. She can help you get the stream key to get set up on the Free Code Camp Channel.
Have fun streaming!
General rules/guidelines:
- JavaScript, HTML, and CSS only (including libraries and frameworks of course).
- Language and content must be safe-for-work.
- Before streaming, check the channel to see if someone's already up and give a heads up about your plan to stream in the Twitch.tv chat room on gitter.
- Please use a webcam at the same time - the audience wants to see you!
- Use the chat room almost as a pair-programmer. Interact as much as possible and work together for best results.
- Think out-loud as much as possible so that your viewers can understand what you're thinking and doing.
- No music please. If you need music while you code, use earbuds so it's not on the stream.
Please contact Briana via gitter or twitter and get started today!
