I am the author of [Learning Cython](http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920046813.do), a new series of videos teaching [Cython](http://cython.org/). There are over 70 videos, making up around five and a half hours of content. If you're involved in education, you may have considered making a screencast like these and I'd like to give a short overview of what that entails.

You may be happy to self-produce and self-host, and I would be too except that I was approached by a publisher and made an offer to produce the videos for distribution on their site. How this happened is interesting: in 2015, on a whim, I decided to submit a Cython talk proposal for PyCon AU. My talk got accepted, and a few weeks before the conference the publisher contacted me and made the offer.
