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…”
- High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
Quality Attributes (Non-functional requirements) as first class citizens of a project? Too far fetched?
Len Bass, co-author of
Software Architecture in Practice and longstanding member of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), thinks he has an answer.
But how does this fit in an agile world?

Learning to express NFR's in a form which is useful to the project is a good thing. However, the software domain is hard to measure - when did you last see a set of performance figures for a third party library, a protocol or a comms. channel ? That is, actual numbers and real world data which allow you to make "on the project" decisions ? So ! - knowing the behaviour of one component is very tricky, build a full stack for a complex application and it gets real difficult. So - rank those use cases, get early code delivery on a high risk use case, then spend HOWEVER MUCH TIME IT TAKES getting that use case to comply with the NFR's as best you can. Realising the remaining use cases is a piece of cake...?
