Comment Feed for Channel 9 - Scott Swanson - Introduces himself and the new help system in Whidbey http://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/Dev/App_Themes/C9/images/feedimage.png Channel 9 - Scott Swanson - Introduces himself and the new help system in Whidbey Scott Swanson, lead program manager on the Whidbey Help team (Whidbey is the code-name for the next version of Visual Studio, aka Visual Studio 2005) talks about his history here at Microsoft and opens the discussion of help in Whidbey. In later videos (coming over the next week) he discusses more of what's coming, but in this segment Scott talks about what the current version of help in Visual Studio is like. The interview with Scott that'll unfold is interesting because it demonstrates how teams at Microsoft learn from your feedback and how we are responding to user requests. Scott has more about help on his weblog too (and he is answering your questions there). Hmmm, a helpful guy who manages help in Visual Studio. Imagine that! If you wanna learn more about Visual Studio 2005, er Whidbey, check out the new Whidbey Developer Center. en Mon, 20 May 2013 13:47:04 GMT Mon, 20 May 2013 13:47:04 GMT Rev9 Re: Scott Swanson - Introduces himself and the new help system in Whidbey

I completely agree with the shortcomings of the current help systems - Great reference, but no howto. Looking forward to Whidbey (As if I wasn't already..)

Catatonic, have you had a chance to try one of the Whidbey Alpha releases yet and see the new Help system first hand?

Haha, I'm was beginning to think it was ordinary American slang to begin answering a question with "So.." and I just hadn't heard about it before. Smiley

"[big boring sentence], yeah?"

It's actually something they train you to do in public speaking courses. Have a few keywords you use naturally which give you a chance to pause but, more than anything, gives the audience a chance to digest for a second.

Good speakers have one word. Great speakers have several techniques for this.

I'm definitely not in the second group Wink
