Demonstration is very important for learning. There's so many hidden wins by watching someone do the thing instead of talk about it. For example, just seeing how they use their tools has a number of benefits. You might walk away not only learning the material but have a bunch of tips on how to improve your workflow. It's a win / win. Neat timing on this article too. While this isn't a live demo of coding, I just published a 90 minute live demo today where I go over the process of planning out a substantially sized web app I'm going to be developing. The video is just a non-stop thought process of me figuring out how the app will work (struggles included). It's available at: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/live-demo-of-planning-a-real-world-web-application-from-scratch https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/live-demo-of-planning-a-real-... This is the first time I tried something like that. If anyone watches it, I'd really like to know what they thought. The only problem with live demos and really getting into the thick of it is the videos end up being a lot longer than a highlight reel that was made after the fact and only showed the interesting parts. For me one of the biggest wins of a live demo is being able to see the true process, because that's what allows you to figure out how to apply it to your own project / work / etc..
