“Screencasts have become a very popular way to make
tutorials to explain how software or services work in recent years.
Let’s look at how you can make them of your own cool project, or
anything cool you’re doing with Linux…“Screencasts are short narrated video screen captures of your
computer screen. They are usually shared on the web and used
heavily by tutorial websites. They make tutorials a lot more lively
and at times can be more effective than tutorials that use only
text and images. You can create a screencast quite easily and share
it with others on your website or over a video sharing service such
as YouTube or Vimeo. Let’s look at how you can create a screencast
using free software on your Linux desktop or laptop. We’ll set up
the software recordMyDesktop through Ubuntu and then create a
simple screencast so that you can see how the entire cycle
works.”
