Do you have a favourite BUILD talk?

With BUILD now receeding into the past we may all have had a chance to catch up with many of the excellent videos (thanks guys)

My personal favourite was Jason Olson's talk:

Being pragmatic by leveraging existing code in Metro style apps

It's my approach to coding and it was just so nice to see it being validated (I guess I wasn't sure prior to this if I should have been slightly ashamed of myself ....)

Great Stuff!

Quite liked this talk, may not have been the most pratical information, but thought it was well presented and intreasting.

So far, this one on How and When you app will run:

Pretty much the most critical thing to understand when writing WinRT apps, well unless you want your users randomly losing their work.

I enjoyed Ander Hejlsberg's talk about the future of C# (and VB.NET).

My favorite was:

http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/BUILD/BUILD2011/PLAT-875T

where Matt Merry slipped up and referred to WinRT as COM and did some sweet backstroke to explain how marginally different the two were. WinDiv: We're back...and we brought our COM with us! C++ forever! Yeah! Oh, sorry I mean "use the right tool for the job."

I liked this one, it went along way towards explining the whole Metro thing: http://channel9.msdn.com/events/BUILD/BUILD2011/BPS-1004

Entertaining.

Very entertaining and interesting.

It's a difficult one, I think the Jensen Harris one linked to by Bas will probably come to be a widely watched one, I also enjoyed the confidence John Sheehan showed in his talk, and being a fan of Krzysztof Cwalina, his talk was very good as well.

I still love Win 7 too much to wipe it off and install Win 8, especially since there are no commercial reasons to do so, and won't for some time, so I will await a beta.

Thanks for posting all the great videos

I still have another 14 sessions to watch before I can make a decision ...

@longnightmoon: I am sure I saw another presentation with "The Moth" pre-Build showing some pretty amazing usage of GPU cores from client side apps. Not watched that one yet.

@vesuvius:Thanks for the tip, I'll see if I can track it down later. Now I have my hands full playing with VS 2011 Dev Preview. But now I want to build a new desktop from scratch around the GTX 590. I'll likely settle for a GT 520, and then when I can put all the cores to work then consider the GTX560Ti, or the GTX 590 (hobby project).  But I guess I'll have to look at the AMD solutions as well. Haven't had to build my own desktop in way too long.
