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)
- WMV (WMV Video)
We thought we'd put Paul on the spot and ask him:
"Fill in the blank, a great VB programmer does _____."
Here's his answer.
In another video that we just posted we asked Paul to tell us how to make our Visual Basic applications run faster.

Man..this is the first worthless video I have found on Channel 9. No matter how the interviewer tried, he couldn't get the interviewee to commit to one thing that makes a good vb programmer. How about creativity..its one word..or discipline....or intuition..or even magic fingers for god's sake. But "thinking" as the interviewee recommended means nothing without the basics. Even when prompted on test specs and practically given the idea, the response was well everyone is different.
Coder maybe, hacker probably. But developers and programmers eventually grow up and start developing in programming languages where useful parts don't only come in ActiveX controls and DLLs.
Exactly when did you last use Visual Basic?
Viva La VB!!!!! Programming for the masses....
Normal people turn great ideas into working apps too...
No need to be a rocket scientist in our day and time when amatures can build and launch rockets too....
