Favorite live coding channels for intermediate/advanced topics?


I've found watching someone else code is immensely helpful and I was looking for more content like this. I saw some recommended in a different thread, so I thought I'd ask the broader audience.

Most of the content I see is aimed towards beginners so I was looking for context for experienced developers.

There‘s Jon Blow working on his new language JAI and game-dev:

Another channel is Casey Muratori‘s Handmade Hero, which is about developing a game from scratch.

Yuri Artyukh, mostly threejs, webgl stuff https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDo7RTzizoOdPjY8A-xDR7g , although I'm not experienced enough to judge if its actually intermediate.

Jon Gjengset, Rust (internals, data structure, protocol impls) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_iD0xppBwwsrM9DegC5cQQ

aarthifical, not really live-coding but a game devlog with interesting ideas https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtEwVJZABCd0tels2KIpKGQ

The SerenityOS guy has some interesting stuff, although not directly in an instructional format

Not truly advanced compared to some of the content posted here but I try to post videos about Vue.js and topics no-one else really talks about (mainly around testing): https://www.youtube.com/c/LachlanMiller/videos

OneLoneCoder has videos on different topics you may find interesting (gamedev, emulation, C++ quirks, algorithms): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-yuWVUplUJZvieEligKBkA

I personally love watching the live coding sessions by Andrew Kelly, creator of Zig, regarding progress with the language/compiler. Archived videos available on Vimeo

Intermediate C++ videos, often with some angle towards graphics or emulation.

Gamozo focuses on security and optimization topics.

While his content is not structured as a tutorial, he explains his line of thinking very well.

https://www.youtube.com/user/hjalfi/videos has gems like:

   Hjalfi writes a vi for CP/M (9 hours)
   Hjalfi writes an assembler (7 hours)
   Hjalfi ports Fuzix to the ESP8266 (38 hours)

Ok so totally not coding but I find Wintergatan's approach to engineering has certain parallels.

Plenty of testing, building for reliability and whittling down to the simplest, most-elegant solution possible.

I like the reinforcement learning tutorials but his channel is for machine learning in general

Not exactly a channel, but a few weeks ago I did a live coding session on how to build an ML platform from scratch (the stuff you need to get ML models to production):

👤 melse
"marcan" (creator of Asahi Linux https://asahilinux.org/) live codes on YouTube https://youtube.com/c/marcan42 - they're pretty long videos but super interesting if you're into that kind of thing

👤 mejutoco
I do something like this, although not live. These are real intermediate projects on video, with code. Without omitting any step.

So far I have a course on publishing a pip package and a cron implemented with aws lambda.

The "coding train" youtube channel is actually very interesting. He works on a wide variety of projects and shows how he thinks and solves problems.

I really like Nic Jackson’s Go series https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmD8u-IFdreyh6EUfevBcbi...

👤 xder
Antoine Zanuttini (https://youtube.com/c/AntoineZanuttini) has a playlist with live shaders programming

👤 yewenjie
What are the best places for finding high-quality learning material for arbitrary programming topics anyway? Like how does one quickly cut through the beginner stuff and get to the high-quality content?

Sentdex for anything python related https://youtube.com/c/sentdex
