I'm making this because no one else will | DEVLOG #0

Learning Backend Web Development in C# by writing my first Microservice. Github repository data is pulled into my database every 10 minutes so that we can display a near realtime software portfolio on my website. In the future we will also add more data to my database so that project pages can be automatically generated (with articles and images etc)

The goal was to build a scalable background microservices architecture, where I can easily write new services independently and then seamlessly plug them into my server on a Cron schedule. I spent most of this video reading documentation and learning ASP .NET Core, Hangfire, Microsoft Entity Framework, object mappers and how to best organize my services to easily extend them in the future. I have found a solution that works well for me, only requiring two lines of code to add a service to my scheduler. This is me learning through doing. Roughly 20 hours of coding went into this video. See below for technologies used in more detail.

This Changes Everything | DEVLOG #1

I've wanted to make an LED Music Visualizer for the past year so I finally just did it. I had many problems designing the circuitry and although it is not perfect it actually turned out to be a pretty good result. The coding in this project was simple in comparison to the hardware and although this is not a programming video I want to show people why both hardware and software are interesting especially when you are able to combine them both so that you have full control over the system you designed. Next few videos will be some large software projects I developed in my spare time, meaning I can show you code!! I'm trying to start a community of passionate software/electronics hobbyists and entrepreneurs so join the newly created discord channel if you are interested, I will be active a lot of the time as I just got the app on my phone. 

!! Special shout out to Math Encounters Blog for the amazing Frequency to Voltage Converter circuit !!

DIY LED Music Visualizer | Real-Time Animations (Arduino)

Trying to learn video processing by writing a program that edits my videos (lol).

Patreon: https://patreon.com/devoncrawford
My Editing Software (Adobe Premiere): https://goo.gl/rKx66D
Source Code for this project: https://github.com/DevonCrawford/Video-Editing-Automation

The goal is to build algorithmic building blocks that a human video editor can use in place of their manual labor. This means a partially-autonomous editing workflow, where the human can strategically use the toolkit of algorithms to achieve their desired results. This project uses the FFmpeg library to handle much of the heavy lifting of video processing and intends to build a library on top of FFmpeg without changing the FFmpeg source code. I have many ideas for future algorithms that can be implemented, so let me know if you're interested in this kind of development!

Also note, this was only three weeks of work. The code is not fully tested or documented (the source code is commented though). The random editing function is just a demo to showcase the clip and sequence functionality (cutting clips and stitching them together in a sequence). I was genuinely surprised to see how well the random function performed. I thought it was going to be awful but it wasn't that awful. I would love to use AI in this project, but I've never done AI so I figured I would get a solid base in video/image processing first.
