Video "crash courses"

Open larsbrinkhoff opened this issue 3 years ago • 7 comments

Ideas for a series of video demos. Live coding with an audience; also recorded.

  • [ ] Introduction and basics for new users.
  • [ ] Overview of ITS hardware support and emulators.
  • [x] Programming "hello world" with EMACS, MIDAS, and DDT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVmFqmiiM-0
  • [x] Debugging the null program: hello world using just DDT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ub36q03vkc
  • [ ] Hello world using Maclisp. Interpreted, compiled, and dumped.
  • [ ] Something with Logo, turtle graphics. Maybe use my floor turtle?
  • [ ] Branching out: hello world in WAITS.
  • [ ] PDP-6 programming from ITS.
  • [ ] PDP-11 programming from ITS.
  • [ ] Imlac programming from ITS.
  • [ ] Out of timesharing hello world with @ TECO, MIDAS, DDT. (MACDMP or DSKDMP?)
  • [ ] Debugging, modifying, and reassembling ITS.

  1. Is scheduled for this Sunday 20:00 GMT: live at https://meet.jit.si/PDP10

I wonder if I remember how to debug in DDT. I just checked the link. Does it come up in Japanese for anyone else? It's kind of annoying because it pops up messages that are neither selectable nor do they remain on the screen long enough for me to try to read them. One of the latter messages indicates that the "room is unsafe" but I gave up trying to read the specifics. I presume it's warning about scammers or something.

I get English text; no idea why you get it in Japanese?!?

The complaint is that the room name is unsafe. Presumably the string "PDP10" is short and malicious intruders could invade. I don't think it will be a problem.

It's probably just misinterpreting my Accept-Language header then. Just because I can read Japanese (sort of) doesn't mean I prefer it.

Unfortunately, something has come up and I won't be able to attend this one, but good luck. Will they be recorded?

Yes, the plan is to make recordings available later.

Added suggestions from @PiDP /@obsolescence and @aap: basics for beginners, and overview of ITS hardware/emulators.
