Livecode Project.

Text with images can be at least as good, often better. They're far easier to produce and update, and for something as abstract as coding often make for a more pedagogically sound teaching mode than video.

Videos can be helpful for very concrete things, like showing people how to use the IDE. But the IDE's not all that hard, and is subject to change between versions anyway. The core language is more abstract, so focusing on that will create tutorials that have much more lasting value, and using text gives you the opportunity to provide code snippets that can be copied and pasted, invaluable for learning programming.

Well said FourthWorld.
So i have a question for you guys, what program would you like to create? i was thinking about writing tutorials on how to create an internet cafe management software since i have such a program created already, but on the other hand besides i wanted to start with something easier, an internet cafe management software wont be much of use to anyone besides teaching you alot of important things about coding. So thats what i have in mind.
An ebook/program/game/movie Library software. Here's how this is going to work:
1) You choose the folder with your content (whether it is ebooks,programs,movies or games)
2) The program will search through the folder, take whatever content can be used and put it into a database
3) It will then connect to an API where it will fetch information about the content (photos,description,genre/type,trailers,year,popularity,votes)
4) And then it will display the content in the client along with images,decription,trailers...
We will then add functions to the program like being able to see only action movies or comedys, categorize by title,year,popularity,votes, a search by name function... We can also use API to download subtitles for movies, or photos, tutorials for programs, trainers or cheats for games and whatever else you can think of. We can even turn this into a torrent client(i already have one ready).
I'm looking forward for you suggestions. Thank you for your time.

Hi Zaxos
The project looks interesting, especially if it is accompanied by some explanation on the architecture.
I think that the way to improve the tutorial you will find after the first.

Her's a glimpse of how the library is going to look:
