Given enough feedback I can create a whole series of screencasts for Dancer,<br>
but I'd certainly like to get some feedback from you. What subject<br>
would you like to<br>
be covered?<br>
Should this be aimed at Perl developers who start with Dancer or<br>
people who are already experienced with Dancer? Should it maybe even<br>
assume no, or very little Perl knowledge as well?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That's actually a very tricky issue. I had the same problem wanting to do screencasts. Where do you start from? What do you cover?<br>
<br></div><div>If I'd want to do a screencast series for Dancer, I would start with "you know computers (and maybe a bit of programming) and you want to write a website" much like the early Rails screencasts which were like "do these things and you get yourself a website". People learned variables as they went along. Same with functions and other constructs.<br>

My plan is to follow the footsteps of <a href="http://railscasts.com" target="_blank">railscasts.com</a> and provide some<br>
of the videos free<br>
of charge and some for paying subscribers only so I can cover my bills.<br>
Will there be enough people to make this sustainable?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I have no idea. I guess it depends on how good they are. The Rails were very successful.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Good luck! :)<br>
