Ion Todirel wow, Rico Mariani, cooooool -
brentnewbury Wow, that was really insightful. Now I know who to thank when I find out there are only 9 elements in my collection and all of them are wrong during debug!
-
noxa Woooo go Rico! Great video, love the blog, and keep up the amazing advice. I always get excited when your feed goes bold

ricom While it's true that I wrote the initial version of "Data Tips" (I'm sure that's what we called it even though the show says Value Tips) it's also true that the current version probably has nearly zero bytes of my code left in it.
If anything is left its in the part that evaluates C++ expressions, I did work in that area while I was the debugger lead and a lot of it is still in use as far as I can tell. -
Richard.Hein Great interview!
I'm paraphrasing the ending for others because it has me thinking:
"10 Commandments of Performance

If you aren't measuring you aren't engineering. ...And remember your system will have flaws. What are the flaws? How many are there? What are the tolerances?"
I will remember!

BlackTiger Guys! Are you crazy? 850 MB!!!
Video stream is broken too.
-
tomkirbygreen Who cares about the file size when the content is this good. This is one of the best Channel 9 videos I've enjoyed in a long time. Kudos to the C9 team and a big tip of the hat to Rico himself.

BlackTiger Good video? Hmmm, probably yes. But my WMP11 (Vista) can't play this stream.

Now I can too. But quality of stream is AWFUL!
Encoded with 50Kbit bitrate?
Does "downloaded" version has same bitrate? 850 MBs for 58 minutes? Please, learn how to encode videos.

Uhm... Streaming means MBR (that's mutiple bit rate) and will stream at the quality of the connection detected by the server. So, apparently you have issue with your connection pipe....... For Download files, they are encoded at either 1 MB/S or 2 MB/S. In this case it's 2MB/S at 58 Minutes = large file.

CRPietschmann Excellent interview! I would definately be interested in hearing more from Rico. -
ricom You might like this one from about 2 years ago.
Or you might like this one from last year.
And of course there's some good materials on my blog and this bibliography.
I don't have anything much more recent than that because Charles doesn't love me anymore

How could you say that, Rico! You're one of our all time favorite subjects! When you have something to talk about regarding CLR 3.5/4.0 you better believe we'll be knocking on (down) your door.

CanadaToNewJersey Hi, Rico.
Congratulations on your amazing accomplishments at Microsoft. That's so cool that you graduated from University of Waterloo. I had graduated from Wilfrid Laurier University and worked at Microsoft Canada for a short while in Mississauga in the Education & Certification department. I now live in New Jersey and work for a programmer support group for Bloomberg LP in Manhattan.
Keep up the good work.

Huskens You know a person is highly skillful when he/she can say a lot in a short amount of time and with few sentences. I was really impressed with the Q&A part. That was definitely Rico's experience talking. Well done Rico, this was an excellent show with a lot of great tips.
