The idea was to give a good developer some code she had never seen before—some big code, not just a screenful or two—and make a screencast of her thinking aloud as she figured out just enough about how it worked to make a simple change" Brilliant, really. When can we watch a screencast of this?! “Another thing that came up was a way of teaching students how to navigate large code bases.

Screencast-recording tools for Linux, on the other hand... :( I like the idea. vim + ctags + grep + id-utils = very nice toolkit for navigating a large unfamiliar code base.

At the 2007 conference there was a testing competition and as part of the submission process you needed to have your bugs and bug finding techniques videoed. The videos and all the other associated documentation can be found online for free at http://www.associationforsoftwaretesting.org/drupal/CAST2007/Challenge. -adam The Association for Software Testing (AST) latched onto this idea a year or so ago.
