C9 Conversations: Yuri Gurevich On Logic, Imperative, Abstraction and Algorithms

"This application is an end-to-end sample application for .NET Enterprise Application Server technologies. It is a service-oriented application based on Windows Communication Foundation (.NET 3.0) and ASP.NET, and illustrates many of the .NET enterprise development technologies for building highly scalable, rich "enterprise-connected" applications. It is designed as a benchmark kit to illustrate alternative technologies within .NET and their relative performance.
The application offers full interoperability with J2EE and
IBM WebSphere's Trade 6.1 sample application. As such, the application offers an excellent opportunity for developers to learn about .NET and building interoperable, service-oriented applications."
Tune in!
Charles,
What you guys do is great. The purpose of channel 9 is to be informal. "Listening to the pilots" I love the feeling of I just walked into Greg's office and said hey buddy whats up and we hung out and talked about cool stuff. Keep the spirit alive we love it.

Nice video, too bad Greg avoided the subject of horizontal scaling of the "RDBMS" layer. As the "RDBMS" here is actually an integral and a very critical part of any more or less decent application
these days, it would be nice to know how guys at Microsoft are planning to address that.
Oracle at least claims that their RAC (real application cluster) scales horizontally.
MS SQL Server does not even seem to have a similar concept neither in 2005, nor 2008 incarnation.

I like seeing people in party mode, seeing several mice on a cluttered desk, seeing two or three monitors, seeing the spontaneous version of how the interviewee would really draw their thoughts on the board in "real life." It makes me feel like I have visited and imbibed some of the air there.
It would be nice if the videos were indexed, such that I could come back later and pick up where I left off.
