Countdown to PDC2008: By Developers, for Developers: Don Box and Chris Anderson

Clothing optional keynotes, comparisons to the pains of childbirth, the joys of sharing an office, how to give a 90 minute speech minus PowerPoint and only writing 130 lines of code, and why PDC is the most special developer conference on the planet . . . this is one amusing show starring PDC keynote speakers, and developers by day, Chris Anderson and Don Box.  Not to mention, Mike introduces a new PDC Hard Hat Challenge! 

PS:  The brainteaser from last week remains unsolved – will you be the Mensa member who can finally crack the code??

What a fun episode to film! While all of our keynotes are sure to be chock full of developer goodness (tm), I think that Chris and Don will be a blast to watch. They have a great sense of humor, and they're true geeks.

Also, as the description notes, last week's Hard Hat Challenge remains unsolved. I've added a few hints to the comment section if you want to take a stab at it. Good luck!

Orand...we use a kitchen timer to keep the show short and tight. That's what you may have seen Jennifer dial at the beginning of the video. The timer tends to run a bit fast, which is why it went off at 9:24. I suppose we could explain it at the beginning of each show, but we've probably gotten lazy by assuming that everyone has seen our prior shows.

Mike, could you post the image as text maybe? You see I am too lazy to type it down or to download some OCR software...

Let's see if the geniuses at StackOverflow.com can help us out with the code deciphering. Smiley
