I’m excited to have had a chance over the weekend to work on something I’ve been meaning to start for quite some time! A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away I had created several useful video tutorials on how to setup your Red5 development workspace and get started with developing on the Red5 application server. However, as all oss projects go, the server was constantly changing at a rapid pace. Times have changed as we are approaching the Red5 1.0 release. The server has reached a level of stability during this time and we are almost feature complete! In this regard, it seemed like the perfect time to start over and release some material that the community could benefit from. I decided that youtube was the perfect platform for delivering the series due to their bandwidth and high definition upload capability. That said, I am officially releasing “The Red5 Developer Series” to the community.
Red5 Developer Series
The Red5 Developer Series is a youtube channel I’ve created that will allow me to publish educational videos for the Red5 application server. So far, I’ve created four videos. Each video has been encoded to high definition 1280×720p. Make sure you click on the “HD” button and view in full screen for the best result. My hope is that you find these useful. If you would like to show your support, then please subscribe to the “Red5 Developer Series” channel and to my site here. Link to and write posts about the series and my site (www.newviewnetworks.com). Leave me comments and suggestions on what I could do to increase the value of these.
