I don't know the interviewer but he's not nearly as energetic as Robert in most other videos. Sort of picky about details and no "Wow" or encouragement given. Would likely be a poor manager.

I love the idea of the video though and look forward to anything for making queries easier. Amanda is right. The latest generation is way "search centric."

VB.NET?! Oh my favorite!

Oh

Very well
I wait for your video. VB is my love. I can remember that I was 10 and I was programming with GWBasic and now I'm 21 and developing with VB.NET Tongue Out

Check that for details on what is changing in VB.NET 9.0.

I (and many others, I'm sure) still haven't forgiven MS for what they did to VB 6.0 (or VB 3.0 for that matter), but I'm happy to see that VB.NET is getting closer to parity with C# on language features.

Edited my post... is that Ken Levy doing the interview ?

great Videos, VB.net is looking great, Amanda ROCKS as normal… always like watching her demos, Linq ROCKS. I like it better on VB.net then C# and I think some of the stuff they are doing is just awesome. I hope the C# team hops on some of that dynamic stuff Smiley

Ken Levy

Yes, that's me (Ken Levy, VS Data Product Manager) doing the interview and camera work for this Channel 9 interview. I'll be doing more, and any feedback on the interview, camera work, or topics to be covered in the future with the VB team is greatly welcome.

Ken Levy

You are correct in your comments about my lack of enthusiasm in the video interview. I've been interviewed for Channel 9 about 4 times now, and I usually have lots of enthusiasm in front of the camera. Being new to going behind the camera, I was thinking of making sure the camera work was good (stable for the demos) and that I let the people on camera talk as much as possible and let things flow naturally. Upon reflection, I think I can do more to spice up future Channel 9 interviews I record, and also be more fun, humorous, and enthusiastic behind the camera. I have more Channel 9 interviews lined up to record, and this feedback here will help improve the 'entertainment' quality of future videos.

The people you interviewed were boring. They showed absolutely no enthusiasm or excitement in their product {which is great by the way. The product, not the lack of.}

If they showed a bit more excitement I'd watch it again, until then I'm gonna' leave this video alone. Wink

ps. Great job on the camera work, not as shaky as Scobles.

This new "linq" stuff is pretty neat but as Wacko already mentioned the current C# implementation is kinda unintuitive, but still very cool. I hope they will come up with an easier syntax for C# before this stuff ship, that is, if it ship.

Btw, 1 is not considered a "true" prime number... Get the Dr. Math explanation here.

great job ken one thing I would do is ask more questions... we know your a smart guy, but sometimes you say something and its like "What is he talking about?" I think if maybe you phrased those into questions and allowed the person being interviewed to answer them it would make your points a lot stronger... Other then that great job.

As far as the people who they where interviewing where boring ? Where does that come off? I mean Amanda Silver was not boring, I did not think paul was that boring either I think they where just very into there demo's which is nice sometimes to see people really get into the stuff they are working on. anyways great job guys
