HanselminutesOn9

Scott's in Norway this week at NDC. He's chatting with Ted Neward and Scott Bellware about what Ted calls "the death of the professional conference speaker." Are smaller code camps destroying the large conference? Do we even need large developer conferences?

I was hanging out in New York yesterday, presenting at Devscovery and I took a few minutes to stop by Fog Creek, have lunch with Joel (did you know they always eat together as a team and have lunch catered every day?) and get a tour. Fog Creek is known for their snazzy offices and attention to…

In this completely useless video (you have been warned),  Scott bumps into Brad Wilson in the halls of Building 42 and finds out what Brad is having for lunch. He also says a little about the Data Annotation-based Model Binder that they showed at Mix 09. A glimpse at what is to come in the…

I'm wandering the halls in Building 42 and bump into the man himself, Rob Conery. This is amazing for a number of reasons, not the least of which being that Rob lives in Hawaii. I put the hot lights up to Rob and get him to confess to a number of transgressions. Turns out he IS still working on the…

In this episode of Hanselminutes on 9, I break into Eilon Lipton's office and demand the real scoop on who or what wrote ASP.NET MVC. The word on the street is that ScottGu wrote the original prototype, codenamed "Scalene" on an airplane. Is this true? I pretend to turn off my camera and…

This Hanselminutes on 9 video was filmed at the MVP Summit on the Redmond Campus. I was on campus for the week with my trusty Flip Video camera and I pulled Phil Haack outside and demanded the real scoop on ASP.NET MVC. I beat him about the head and ears and asked questions like "what…

Security is tight here at Mix09 but I've snuck past the guards and followed Joel Spolsky (JoelOnSoftware) and Jeff Atwood (CodingHorror) up the escalator to their Keynote Rehearsal. The fans went wild! Well, one fan. A lady on the escalator recognized them. But still! The air is electric. Let's…

Wow. I just bumped into Johnny Lee in the halls here at Mix09. I'm a huge fan boi with a man-crush on this dude. You've seen Johnny before on Channel 9 talking to Robert Hess.  Johnny's a legend (in my mind) in the computer vision space, and he put up with me gushing at him here at…

Very few Channel 9 videos begin with the firing of a trebuchet.This is one of those videos.Scott and I barged in on Vance Morrison, an architect on the .NET Runtime team, and spent some quality time with him assaulting a wall (we won - the wall didn't even put up a fight) and then talking…

Scott Hanselman is a pretty well known guy around the .NET world for a bajillion reasons (reasons will not be listed here).We decided to make it a bajllion and one reasons.Scott has a podcast, produced by Carl Franklin of .NET Rocks fame, called HanselMinutes. It seems to be generally well liked,…
