egghead lesson style guide

At egghead we've got strong opinions about how screencast tutorials should be created and presented. We also firmly believe that there is room for experiments and even truly off-norm presentations.

If you haven't seen Professor Frisby Introduces Composable Functional JavaScript please give it a watch and then come back.

We love to hear your ideas, even your far out ideas, for the most part we want clean, concise, information dense screencasts that are tailored for busy folks that want to fit learning into a hectic schedule.

To that end, we've put together a few guides:

• What makes a great lesson?
• Thinking in lessons
• What should you teach?
• What if a topic already exists?
• Creating the Code Example
• Talking about code for understanding.
• Publishing Your Lesson
• Host demo REST API
• Accessible Screencasts:
  • Explicit speech
  • High contrast and color-blind friendly theme
