There are quite a few algorithm lectures on the web, but what I'm looking for is a video tutorial where I can watch somebody coding on screen, going from a blank document to an algorithm that solves a problem. Language doesn't really matter. There are lots of video tutorials like this about a certain language, but is there one that teaches an algorithm?

A:
Conway's Game of Life coded in one line of APL is pretty good. The video starts from a blank screen and builds the code up live in the interpreter. Although it's a specific problem, the steps in involved in the construction are very instructive. I thought it was an amazing demo.

I would highly recommend the Introduction to Algorithms video lecture series by Charles Leiserson, the L of the standard Algorithms textbook, CLRS. He works out several fundamental algorithms in pseudocode.
