How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- WMV (WMV Video)
I recently got the chance to attend
JAOO in Aarhus, Denmark. Besides learning a great amount about various approaches to solving hard problems that we all face as programmers (regardless of the stack we spend most of our time developing on), I got to meet so many
interesting people from all walks of programmer life. What a great conference! For one thing, JAOO is not about specific products. It's not about one company's view of the world. It's not about one class of technologies or developer. It's not just about Java
and LAMP or .NET and Windows...
Glenn Vanderburg is an independent consultant and dynamic langauges champion. I caught up with him to discuss what makes dynamic languages like Ruby so popular. We also address the importance of learning many different programming languages as a way to expand your mind.

Looks like Visual Basic and C# are moving up as is Ruby.

In terms of software composability, I would say, it's more about the programmer writing good code, rather than a new programming language.
I think the two most important aspects of writing good composable software is A) interfaces and B) reflection.
That's all you need. Then, in your house example at the end, if you have a component that implements an interface, all you have to do is rewrite it or write something completely new and call the new component instead of the old one, or use a factory pattern.
Thanks, Justin
