Great question!

CodeCast is both media AND live-code. So while you record yourself teaching, any live updates you are making to the codebase you include in your Cast are shared alongside the video in a single platform. You just share the codebase in the Studio and edit it on your local machine like normal, and it updates in the Cast each time you save!

This allows for people to see your code simultaneously to learn better, follow along with what you’re doing etc, as opposed to just providing something like a GitHub repo!

PS. They also have a download feature coming out that will allow you to republish the media portion of your Cast on YouTube! That falls right into my “be everywhere” tip!

Interesting! I enjoy watching youtube videos as part of my learning process. But I'm unable to copy and paste code from youtube videos (because I want to double check if I typed things correctly). Will using codecast allow me to do that? Thanks!

Yes! That was one of the biggest motivations behind creating our software.

You're able to copy entire files with a single click, or highlight any portion of the code from any file shared with you and copy it!

That is extremely cool!
