Do you want to create screencasts for a technical topic or open source project? Below you'll find material to learn how to produce high quality screencasts. We'd like to see more screencasters producing and teaching in our community.

Oh, and we're hiring!

We're looking for producers who use our guide and produce content for Code TV. You'll be paid to create technical screencasts for Code TV subscribers. Sounds interesting? Follow the steps below to get started:
