Its been over 10 years since I was inside a large software company, but I think I notice some old familiar syndromes. THe video speaks volumns on what can be done differently at microsoft -- the manager is not aware of what anyone on the outside world is doing with their software. I think it would be great if everyone at microsoft got more industry experience by working at a completely different engineering firm for 3 months of every year. THis would reduce the insularity, open minds to true adherence to industry-wide technical standards, and lead to some fresh ideas.

I think you're reading it to our silly back-and-forth style a little too much. Let's see how my "Good for you pretty-face" style works in future episodes. I'm pretty consistent with folks of all sexes. :P

Is it only me or did anyone else noticed that the guy is talking like he is talking to a child. It sounds like a combination of flirtation and good-for-you-pretty-face attitude.

Are we all guys like this when we see a pretty face? I just feel sorry the gals.

This was awesome. If anything, though, I think the videos should be longer.

I understand Scott's mantra about not wasting people's time, but I don't think that means keep it short...just keep it informative.

Good job guys.

Judging from the comments, I'd say it's safe to say that this format is a success.

I'd just like to chime in though that this shouldn't mean that all videos should be capped at 15 minutes now. There are some videos, like the Going Deep videos, dat definitely warrant one hour of material. The UAC video, for instance, was amazing.

This video was awesome. I like Scott's style, his to-the-point questions, and his humour. The combination Scott/Rory could really scory, I mean score. And the fact that it's only 15 minutes is great.

Oooh I like. Short and informative. I really like Scott's general approach to avoid wasting the listener's time on his Hanselminutes podcast. I think there is some room for improvement for future HMC9 episodes in terms of keeping it short and sweet. Remember that our time is money too and whatever you can do to be concise, informative and entertaining enough to not put us to sleep will be greatly appreciated.

I had also noticed and was starting to get reluctant to listen to hour long C9 videos. I welcome this shorter format. There are perhaps a few topics worth an hour. Anytime you get Anders Hejlsberg, Eric Meier and Herb Sutter together I'm willing to carve out a chunk of time to listen to these guys. :-)

Videos with developers - usually less than 20 minutes
Videos with PM/marketing - 40+ minutes

Hmmm... :s

Hello!

I'm new to channel 9 and this is the second vid. I have watched to date, the other one was a patterns and practices discussion which was also quite good.

This was amazing - I have been working as a developer for 7 years now, started writing Asp.Net applications for the company I work for in 2003.

It is great to kind of get to know the people behind all these wonderful frameworks / tools that we use on a daily basis.

I will most definetely bookmark channel 9 - largely due to these two great vids that I have now watched.

Keep well!

Ian from South Africa ;)

Great video, all I can say is more please!!!

I was so impressed when I first discovered ObjectDataSource its just great! Being able to easily data binding to objects really makes the world of difference to data binding IMHO.

Id love to learn more about the daily goings on of the devs at Microsoft, hopefully the rest of us may be able to improve the way we work from seeing how others go about theirs.

Duration wise I think this worked well, often with longer videos I have to stop and start and then I forget what I was watching (maybe it’s related to me having a memory like a gold fish!), now what was I saying...

Thanks again,

Steve.

Enjoyed this video! As it was only 15mins I watched it before starting work... Good way to start the day?!

I remember Polita from the Blinq video that Charles did. I remember thinking at the time that she looked just like Natalie Portman (Padme)!

One thing (but not the only) I have always found very interesting about Channel 9 is that it does indeed put a face to the technology that we as developers use everyday. I use the GridView, ObjectDataSource and data binding in general everyday and you can form a picture in your mind that this stuff was developed with a ton of c++ geeks and a grand master plan (okay maybe thats just me who thinks that - I work for a small e-learning solutions company with a handful of developers so I wouldn't know)?! It's refreshing and suprising to see that this stuff is owned and developed by one person (and some collaboration of course). Gives us all hope (or delusions of grandure)?
:D

Like Polita alot... an interesting person in her own right but very interesting in that she owns stuff that is so prominent. Scott was really good too (good addition to C9 perhaps?) and obviously it wouldn't be the same without you Rory!

Polita should start blogging in the vein of Scott Gu and Nikhil Kothari me thinks!

Job well done.

Rory,

Please accept my apology for posting before seeing the video. I got the idea that Scott was a "silent partner" (so to speak) from the text. My bad...

No harm done - no apology necessary :)

I just wanted to make sure Scott got the credit he deserves.

Good video. BTW - She did a whole video (good one) about Blinq on C9 not too long ago.

Also, every other "brand" I could think of, including name mashups, just didn't float. So I violated the principle "if you can't think of something better, just shut up." I guess I'd better hurry up and sign off!
