Envycasts is Live!
by gregg on Aug 26, 2008
As you may already be aware, Jason and I have been working on our own paid Screencasting website, called Envycasts.
We’re releasing the website into the wild today, with our first envycast Advanced ActiveRecord. Definitely check out the website and view the flash preview of this first screencast.
How are we different then the other screencasters?
Well, the biggest difference is that we put together a green screen. So basically you see us in front of the code, instead of our voices. This makes for a more engaging, and I think entertaining experience, but I’ll let you be the judge.
Both Jason and I owe big props to the other big screencasters in the Ruby / Rails world, Railscasts, Peepcode, Pragmatic Screencasts, the Learning Rails Podcast/Screencast, amongst others. If it wasn’t for these guys, I doubt we’d have done a website like Envycasts.
If you’ve enjoyed the content we’ve put out here on Rails Envy, even if you don’t buy the screencast, maybe consider doing us a favor and help us promote the website (feel free to steal the images here). We love producing media for the community, and admittedly it isn’t as profitable as just coding, so hopefully with your help we can keep on doing what we do.

Congratulations to both of you!! I’m a fan of your podcasts and your videos, they are really good, and I’m sure that these screencast will be very fun and interesting, unfortunately I’m from a Third World country and it’s very difficult to spend money on screencast, but I will promote your new website in our local community. Good luck guys!!!
Congratulations on the new site! Mixing live video with screencasts is brilliant. I look forward to watching them. I also love your podcast, keep it up.
No RSS feed for the Envycasts? Or am I just a moron and neglected to find it?
Gonna watch it tonight.
Cheers
Congrats!
Can’t wait to get my copy of the first live action screencast…
will there be one about rspec
Great idea guys, I hope it works out for you.
Great idea. Thanks so much (for the podcast also, which is so great !)
Welcome to the screencasting world! Can’t wait to see what you guys do with the green screen…remember AfterEffects and its ilk are to be used for good, not evil!!!
I love the creativity and the quality production!
However, this does seem to pose a problem for Jason’s plan to dye his hair green.
Gregg,
is that the stuff we discussed in Karlsruhe? Great!
Keep on.

For the preview, couldn’t it be more justify if we can view more of the code you guy will be discussing instead of such as short introduction with like just the TOC in it. Even ProgPro TV show so code for us to quickly determine if we want to get it or not…
