Post your MATLAB Videos

It is no secret that I like teaching MATLAB through videos. I use Camtasia to make and edit my videos, I am very happy using it. If you want to make MATLAB videos too, you can use Jing, by the makers of Camtasia, that gives you enough functionality to make a great video (but does not allow for editing). It is a free product, so give it a try. Here is a quick example video that I made in about a minute once I installed the product.

Here is the deal. Take that little function, or trick that is worth sharing and record it. Post the video and send me a link hull@mathworks.com. The best video will get a super-fabulous MathWorks gift pack. Judging of the videos will be a highly scientific rating based entirely on which one I like best. Send the video by the morning of June 16th, and you could have your video hosted here next week!

    When downloading and installing Jing as indicated, what about backdoor program files that my antivirus pointed?

    Julio,

    Jing is not a product of The MathWorks, so I don’t know what to say about it. I have some contacts within the company that makes Jing. I will bring your comment to their attention.

    Hi Julio–

    I work for the company that makes Jing, but not on one of the technical teams…so consider this a personal rather than an official response. :-)

    This post on the Jing blog may be helpful:

    Based on the comments there, it looks like updating your anti-virus definitions may cause the warning to go away. As the post states, “Jing doesn’t contain a trojan, or any other type of virus.”

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
