I really, really, really, REALLY, hate screen casts when the person who is in it has his cam up while coding. ITS SO ANNOYING! I don't want to see your face. I want to see the CODE! It's alright in the beginning/end. I don't really mind showing your face for the intro. But while coding, please keep it off! anyways, it was a good screen cast though, thanks.

Big fan of heroku for months, I've just became big fan of nodester in only a couple of days :) Screen cast is really good. Nodester is a real cool stuff, it's a real pleasure to do everything in command line. Good job Chris.

  Thanks! Nodester is also opensource which allows you to run it on your own Amazon EC2 instance or sent us pull requests if you have any ideas how to make it better! https://github.com/nodester/nodester https://github.com/nodester/nodester

    Do you guys have plans to monetize this somehow? I'd gladly pay for a quality cloud based node hosting solution. I could create my own instance on EC2, sure, but for me it's more effective to pay than maintain my own server.

      Nodester will eventually develop a pricing model similar to Heroku when the platform matures. We are planning to always offer a free instance for less intensive node.js apps.

        Have you sought any funding yet? Where are you based? For some additional inspiration, you might also check out AppHarbor (YC W11) at http://appharbor.com/ http://appharbor.com/ . They are Heroku for .NET. You can also check out DotCloud (YC S10) at http://www.dotcloud.com/ http://www.dotcloud.com/ . They are also a platform-as-a-service.

      We (NodeSocket) http://www.nodesocket.com http://www.nodesocket.com are building a node.js hosting platform, similar to Heroku. We are still coding, and building out the server infrastructure, but put your e-mail address into our site to stay up to date and get an invite once we roll into beta. Our platform inst built ontop of another provider such as EC2, we are using our own hardware in datacenters.

Liked the presentation! I like the production quality with all the zooming. What apps did you use for the awesome picture-in-picture screencast?
- cmatthieu 16y ago
  I used ScreenFlow Pro. It's awesome!

    Have you also posted the video to ontwik ( http://ontwik.com/ http://ontwik.com/ )? I think your video would be a great fit for that site.
