September 2015, a website called livecoding.tv on the internet caused the attention of the programming community. Due to the Pingwest product play of an editor inadvertently found this site on the Internet, and wrote an article "A more strange than live Sleep website: Live programmer write Code" to introduce it. Livecoding.tv was officially launched in the United States in February 2015. The company is headquartered in San Francisco and the founder is also a programmer.
Live streaming is no longer a novelty, but it is rare for a serious programmer to write code. No wonder the editor of the game wrote in his article: "So funny a thing that you told me it was an educational platform?" Well, after a curious look at the rest of the site, I found out that it could really be an educational live platform, and it's both fun and cool. ”

In fact, Livecoding.tv in the founding of the time has been positioned as an educational nature of the live platform. The idea of the site was created by Michael, the founder, who played games on Twitch.tv and developed software for Linux VirtualBox. At the time, Michael's idea was: why not make a website where people can do live, learn and socialize? He quickly formed a team and a company--liveedu. This team of less than 10 people has created a social platform that is popular in the programming world.
