OBS Studio
Whenever I need to record or stream a live coding session, I use OBS Studio. In a few click you can transform your computer in a powerful TV production studio. It’s fairly easy to share your screen, add overlays, or switch scene depending on the selected application.

Barely surviving my first live (non recorded) demo session
By Arnaud Lauret, September 29, 2021
Yesterday, I live demoed how I take advantage of the OpenAPI Specification during an API Design review at the API Specification Conference. This session was really live, not recorded like my previous one, and that didn’t totally went well. Though I was quite happy to discover new tricks, I had problems preparing this session and worse I also had problems giving it. Nothing that terrible hopefully, but still terribly annoying and stressful. I need a cathartic post to talk about all that.

Slide deck like live coding with titles and speaker's notes using OBS and VS Code

Third post about my first ever (recorded) live coding session given at the Manning API conference. In previous post, I encountered various problems. Two of them were related to not delivering the session like one of my regular slide deck presentation. I wanted to add titles and have speaker’s notes. In this post, I’ll show you how I solved those two problems with OBS, VS Code and a little bit of magic.

Setting up everything to record myself coding and talking
By Arnaud Lauret, August 4, 2021
I did my first ever (recorded) live coding session at the Manning API conference. During 30 minutes I talked and coded … without any slides; that was totally new to me. While it started well, preparing and recording this session turned out to be quite complicated. At some moment, I was totally desperate and I thought I wasn’t going to make it. But I did it and learned a lot of stuff that deserves to be shared. In this first post, I’ll talk about how “it started well”: setting up OBS, mic, cam and VS Code to record myself speaking and coding.
Supercharge OpenAPI to efficiently describe APIs

If you want to discover the OpenAPI Specification format, this video is for you! In my first ever (recorded) live coding session, given at the 2021 Manning API Conference, I demonstrate basic, advanced, and even hidden features that will help you to efficiently create complete, accurate, and maintainable API descriptions when designing documenting APIs.
