Roku developer blog is live

We’ve just launched our developer-targeted blog. The obligatory first post is up and we welcome your participation:

Yay! Just curious, what’s your expected posting frequency?

Shooting for two “features” a week. That is things that aren’t just announcements or similar

Awesome, better than I’d have hoped.

Cheers!

Not sure why they tweeted it, but didn’t post it here, but they’ve posted some Hello World tutorials on the blog…

Ah, they’re copying me! :wink:

These are good for showing how to use a few different components quickly, and get people up to speed on some user components. My tutorials are definitely aimed a bit lower than even these.

There’s one or two other tutorials floating around out there, maybe there should be a sticky thread created (or the “How do I start developing channel” thread could be cleaned out a bit.

I think we started talking publicly about our dev blog a few weeks before you announced yours, but the more the merrier :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: I agree we have slightly different audiences. The goal of the developer blog is to give people who already have basic programming knowledge the information they need to accomplish specific tasks using the Roku SDK.

And, we just published a new post all about adding preroll video to your channels. http://blog.roku.com/developer/2011/06/ … r-channel/

Yeah, I was just joking about the tutorials specifically, not the presence of a blog (I doubt I’ll ever being claiming first in that category :).

Good job on the pre-roll tutorial!

Is the Blog live? No posts since November?

Winter hibernation :slightly_smiling_face:

Here to in Colorado. It would be nice to show on the blog a section on integrating episodes into videoplayer that has all the settings for movie playback. Just a way to click an icon and switch to an episode layout and a xml part that shows both movie type and episode type together.

Thanks.

And we’re back. Trying to keep to our New Year’s resolutions. New posts on the blog.
