Do you guys use a script to print out your on screen code? Always curious, because it's very 'regular'?

Just wondering.. Great site btw!

There's lots of quick tips from auto-complete, code-suggestions and, in terminal applications, just pressing tab that make typing the code appear more quickly.

I've no idea how "real time" the videos are - there may be a fair bit of tiying up to do to sync the words & visuals with the screen recordings. Dunno ...

What do you mean, Albert - code posted in the forums?

If so, the Markdown Cheatsheet at the bottom of your post-typing window tell you how to do that.

Else let me know and I'll do my best to help.

when it shows the teacher typing out any sort of code, do they pre type it and have a script run to make it type quickly?

I doubt it - the teachers just type quickly or know all the keyboard shortcuts. And the video may be edited for speed, perhaps. I don't really know.

Maybe Ben Jakuben can let us into any little production secrets!

Are you talking about having the text or workspaces finishes a command for you? If so, most code text editors and the treehouse workspaces do that. I know sublime text does (that's what I use).

oh no i meant on the tutorial videos, when you see them typing in code, it seems to be very uniform speed ect, just wasn't sure if they pre typed and ran a script for it. Was a bit of a random question just curious..
