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…”
- MP3 (Audio only)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)
Tim Aidlin, is a User Experience (aka "UX") Designer at Microsoft and is responsible for many of the graphics work being done for MIX09. Since MIX has a strong focus of addressing the needs of designers such as Tim, we felt it would be useful to ask Tim
his thoughts about some of the challenges which designers face when working with developers, and what sessions at MIX09 Tim is personally interested in attending.

It's Robert Hess from the .Net Show....cool!! What happen to that show??..i loved it!
Glad you enjoyed The .NET Show! Erica and I had a great time working on this show for over seven years. Even Star Trek: The Next Generation decided to wrap up after seven years, and I felt that I couldn't suggest that The .NET Show was better then that! :->
I am currently playing around with using "The Knowledge Chamber" as a replacement for The .NET Show. The format will allow me to do shows far more regularly, and far cheaper (which is important these days!). I will be adjusting the tone and format over time based on what I percieve as the feedback from you, the audience. So please let me know what you think of the show, it's length, my guests, etc.
Thanks!

i dont want to rag about it.. the guy seems nice enough... but basically it seemed like a staged advert for expression and workflow
Maybe interview the designers that work for this (marketing) guy... and show samples of their work - and how they made it.
And how many revisions they had to go through working with the teams at MS
Sorry - but Experience Designer... does not = the grunts that actually design the stuff
C
Id settle for rough mockups others finished - otherwise ..its not really about design
But... you do raise a good point. It would have been appropriate to let Tim dive into some of his actual work and show how he produces it.

As for samples of work I've done that speak well specifically to the developer/designer workflow, let me point you to a couple samples:
Flotzam

Oomph: A Microformats Toolkit

SongSmith Application (not website or marketing)

So, hope this is helpful. Robert and I stay in good contact, so keep an eye out for more interviews with the two of us.
I totally welcome your feedback, and think your idea of recording some videos of how I actually design these applications is a great one. Thanks for getting in touch.
