Nederlandse CodeCamp 2009

Maurice — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 10:26:00 GMT

Op 21 november 2009 organiseren de SDN, Stichting dotNed en VBcentral samen het derde Nederlandse Code Camp. Dit is een dag lang met code, code sharing, freaking en gezellig samenzijn. Een evenement door ontwikkelaars, voor ontwikkelaars. De regie ligt voor een belangrijk deel bij de deelnemers! Het aantal plaatsen voor deelnemers is wel beperkt tot maximaal 150. Wacht dus niet te lang met beslissen want voor je het weet is er geen plaats meer. Vergeet bij je aanmelding niet op te geven welke onderwerpen je interesse hebben. Bovendien nodigen we iedereen graag uit om zelf een sessie in te vullen.

Op de website, www.codecamp.nl, vind je meer informatie en kan je je aanmelden.

Want to download all MIX sessions?

Maurice — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 06:52:40 GMT

Then you should check Mike Swanson’s blog post here. He has two batch files, the first downloads all MIX session recordings with in the format you like, the second renames them so it is easier to make sense of all the media file names.

If you just want a list of all sessions with download links this page might be the thing for you.

So much better than downloading them by hand. Not as good as going to the MIX itself but if you, like me, couldn’t go it is still a nice way to see all the content.

Enjoy!

PDC session download

Maurice — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 10:17:52 GMT

Want to download and watch all PDC content? Then there are a couple of ways to get at them. The official way if to go through the session agenda at the conference site. See https://sessions.microsoftpdc.com/public/timeline.aspx. You see all sessions but it takes a bit of work. Another nice way is through Channel 9 by using the following feed: http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/pdc2008/RSS/?tag=videos.

But the best as far as I am concerned is using the list compiled by Greg Duncan. Check this list http://coolthingoftheday.blogspot.com/2008/10/pdc2008-quick-video-link-list.html. And it even has the Visual Basic source code used to generate the list

Enjoy the videos!

Microsoft Netherlands Community DevCast

Maurice — Thu, 15 May 2008 20:05:48 GMT

The Dutch Microsoft office has posted the first of the Community DevCast we recorded. The host is Alex Thissen who actually does most of the work as he also edits the screencasts so don't forget to thank him next week when you run into him at the Dutch DevDays.

I am happy to say that amongst the first 6 screencasts released are no less that 4 I did with Alex about Workflow Foundation. And there are more to come so stay tuned.

The other two are about C# and done by Dennis Vroegop again with Alex as the host.

You can find the Community DevCast here. Keep in mind they are for a Dutch audience so they where recorded in Dutch!

Enjoy!

Software Developer Event on March 28th

Maurice — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 12:55:49 GMT

Next march 28 we are hosting another SDE event in Ede, the Netherlands. There is an impressive list of speakers and sessions, check it out here. I will be doing a session about the new Workflow Foundation features in the .NET framework 3.5. These new features, also known as Silver, enable workflows to work together with Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) in a real nice and intuitive manner

And just to get a taste here is a screen cast made during the last SDE held in December. The screen cast is in Dutch and for SDN members only!

Cool CodeRush/Refactor video

Maurice — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 15:30:00 GMT

If you have never seen CodeRush in action you should check out the video in Jackie Goldstein’s blog post. This was created when he asked Kim Major to do a presentation.

The effect is pretty cool. Now I use Refactor and CodeRush but I am nowhere as fast as this, even with practice Guess I should study up on all the hotkeys as I saw quite a few I don’t know about.

BTW CodeRush and Refactor are created by Mark Miller, an amazing guy in more than one way

Enjoy!

Are you doing forms over data apps?

Maurice — Wed, 23 May 2007 09:00:00 GMT

Well in that case you might want to check out these videos. There are 8 of them at the moment and they show how to do the most common tasks. These videos are created by Beth Massi of the Visual Basic team so all the code is in VB but even if you are a C# developer they are real useful!

Update: It is kind of useful to include the link so here it is http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/bb466226.aspx.

Live From Redmond Webcast Series

Maurice — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 17:38:00 GMT

Beth Massi, a former VB MVP who has joined the form , just blogged about a serie of blog casts the VB team is putting together. These web casts are all about VB9 and Visual Studio Orcas with stuff like LINQ, Offline data and SOA. Some interesting stuff so make sure you watch them. That is if you are in the least bit interested in the future of VB and the .NET framework, but I suspect you are ir you wouldn't be reading this .

Read her blog post with links and dates of the events at http://blogs.msdn.com/vbteam/archive/2007/04/09/live-from-redmond-webcast-series-beth-massi.aspx.

VSTO Screen cast

Maurice — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 16:09:08 GMT

I decided to give screen casting a try. Being Dutch I decided to make the first attempt a Dutch language video so don't bother if you don't speak the language :-)

Take a look at http://www.windowsworkflowfoundation.eu/taskpane3/taskpane3.html. The screen cast is about creating a TaskPane and ribbon using VSTO 2005 SE and Office 2007.

Any feedback both on the contents as well as the technical format such as the resolution used is welcome. BTW I used Camtasia to produce this.

Enjoy!
