I also enjoyed it!! My only quibble is that they kept interrupting you with unrelated questions ... but thats their style of interviewing.

I discovered your blog only about a month ago while looking for reviews of a c# book I was curious about. I was shocked to see (hear) you get interviewed on dotNet rocks! Your perspective as a Java dev and C# expert is very interesting (and refreshing) in my view! I need to search through your past posts .. I'd love to hear you take on C# versus Java generics (and wildcards) and checked exceptions (java) vs. the C# approach.

The C# version of protocol buffers is currently hosted on github:

github.com/.../master

It's undergoing significant changes at the moment (moving from C++ code gen as part of protoc to C# taking the output of protoc) but the backing library is stable and works.

listened to it this afternoon & enjoyed it. is there actually a C# version of protocol buffers released yet? I had a quick browse of the source on google code but only saw python & java versions. I'd be interested in trying it out to see if we can use it to speed up some .NET binary remoting code we have.

I can't really express how much I'm looking forward to the PDC sessions from the C# team. While I don't think we'll see anything like C# 4.0 RTM until end of 2009, it'll be very interesting to see the team do some formal presentations.
