Show IH: The Good Parts of LibVLC
This book is the first book ever about LibVLC and the VideoLAN community.
✍️ 2 years in the making, "The Good Parts of LibVLC" contains all I know about LibVLC and the VideoLAN community after 5+ years working in this developer ecosystem.
🎯 If you are a developer interested in building multimedia apps on any platform using any programming language, this is for you.
👋 More than the little-known great LibVLC library, it presents the VideoLAN non-profit organization, its numerous projects and its core spirit and values. You will learn about opensource, community management, multimedia, native code and interop, codecs, cross-platform graphics programming and more!
If you are a dotnet developer, you will feel right at home as the main programming language used in this book is C#. That being said, the code snippets are succinct and fairly intuitive to read, no matter which programming language you fancy (LibVLC works with most of them 🧡).
✔️ You do not need to be knowledgeable specifically in .NET/C# to read and understand the code in this book, as long as you know another mainstream language.
This is my first book and I chose the self-publishing route. Although I am not a native English speaker, I've been told by early reviewers it is fairly easy to read (certainly a compliment, for a Frenchie writing a book in English! 🥐).
🙏 Happy reading!
