I tried this when I taught a programming languages course a couple years ago. I thought it went well enough, but to prevent wasting too much time in class, you should rehearse.

During office hours and personal consultation I would also do live coding with students, but that wasn't rehearsed. In some cases it went really well, in others, it didn't (usually because something would just take too long -- or maybe because it was Scheme). Still, I enjoyed it and I know at least some of the students did.
