Play Channel 9 turns 9!

Description

From our humble beginnings as a website built with alpha quality forum technologies that we stitched together with creative code and a lot of love, and our videos were made by a few dudes roaming the halls of Microsoft with a cheap camcorder – look at us now. Channel 9 streams live events to 100,000s of people around the world, we have a state of the art recording studio, we do C9 Live at events around the world bringing you directly into the conversation with Microsoft folks in real time. Today, much of our content is created from folks around the company. Channel 9 is THE place to watch MS events on demand and to learn about our technologies from the people who make them – people are the lifeblood of software and technology. Channel 9 is people!

Today marks 9 years of 9. It's a very special day. We are especially humbled and honored to still be around given the change rate of the web. We thank all past, present and future Niners for the excellent conversations, arguments, debates, entertainment, and camaraderie. 9 Years of 9. That rolls so nicely off the tongue. Here's to 9 more.

Happy birthday C9! You are by far, the best programming community on the internet, and I am constantly impressed by the depth and commitment to potentially platform-neutral tech coverage such as C++ etc. Onwards to double figures!

Thanks so much to everyone at Channel 9 now (and those who have gone before) for all of the good information that you've shared over the years.
For many of us, you provide the face of Microsoft and the voice, even in more recent years when information directly from teams has become more scarce.
Keep on keeping on. ツ

Channel 9 mainly for the one who just start from scatch to start programming ?

Last modified Mar 17, 2013 at 1:18AM

@DBA100: Nope, it is for almost anyone really, people who use the Microsoft platform, or not and people who have just started programming along with people who have coded for years. Is there a particular area of info you are looking for?

Congrats. But, just my opinion, C9 was much better back in the day. Anders was always great. Scoble and Rory were fun and seemed honest. Microsoft needs a public advocate, someone on the inside who speaks to the legitimate complaints of users and programmers. C9 should have someone challenging the Bing team on why their search engine is not growing in popularity, for example.

Congrats C9!!! An impressive run so far, and I expect it will be even better in the coming years. And that's because you're always putting out quality content for us developers. A big "Thank You" to everyone on the team.
However, I think the video should have been 9 minutes and 9 seconds long.
