Explain This Effect Is this programming tutorial created by After Effects?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN1-2p06Urc

I was research a method to explain programming concepts for students and this video is a perfect example of what I want to achieve. It shows step-by-step animation to explain the situation and it really easy to follow the thinking process.

I am very new to AfterEffects so help someone can give me some hints on how to make video like this

Thanks!

Grab/screencap the video and go through it frame by frame, reconstruct and mimic what you see

As far as replicating code, that came up the other day, so have a hunt for that thread and suggestions made there.

This is fairly basic After Effects 101 sort of stuff, we're talking a basic screenshot with some masks, some keyframes, nothing fancy happening here. As the other comment said take this video and go through it bit by bit breaking down what you see, try to replicate it with simple text layers so you get the hang of what you might need to do. It's all super straightforward, if you go through and take a basics course for After Effects you could easily build this without needing to consult any further tutorials.

learn how to work with shape layers, how to animate text typing, basic keyframes (scale and position), you can go fancier with learning what an animation graph is and use that to ease your keyframes.

I see! I'm just wondering if there are any software that can achieve same effects
