A short egghead.io course on recording polished coding screencasts, covering the recording and editing workflow for instructional video. It is aimed at people who want to produce tutorials, and it is paired with a companion egghead article on the same topic.
One commenter points to it, along with the companion article, as free practical tips for making screencasts, mainly in the context of recording tutorials.

I record with Screenflow. It is much simpler (read: slimmer feature set) than Camtasia as well as cheaper.
For as straightforward an application as recording a screen w/ voiceover, there aren't many bad options. Personally, what I like about Screenflow is that it is easy to record straight to a timeline. I.E. I do a take, it saves to the timeline in Screenflow, I cut out the pauses/mistakes/dead air, or split a clip to redo audio or video for a particular section. Once satisfied, I move onto recording the next chunk, it's quite streamlined compared to recording in one app and then editing in another.
Egghead.io has a few free resources for their instructors, I'd recommend checking them out for some practical tips.
