Last week I was in Belgium and The Netherlands speaking at TechDays. A number of those videos are online at Channel 9 . It was a great time. Here's the talks I gave. Sorry there's three screenshots of my big head to follow. DevDays Keynote The …
Such a fun time was had at Mix 11 this last week in Vegas. I only saw a few talks as I was busy presenting, but now as I sit at home on my first day back, I say to myself, Self, how can I get all the Mix videos at once? First, you can watch all the vid…
I was one of the lucky on-campus people who got to do their mvcConf 2 presentation from the brand new Channel 9 studios, and now the video is online. You can download high quality WMV (for Windows) or MPEG-4 (for…
A few days ago on Twitter @ red7_liu tweeted: ???Web Camps??????????Scott Hanselman??. This part "??" as I understand, effectively means "Big Cow." "Microsoft Web Camps Conference is coming to China, Big Cow Scott Hanselman will come." If that's not a good enough reason to go to Microsoft WebCamps , then what is? 
This isn't a conference, it's a camp, like a classroom. Here's the schedule . Day 1: Learning: Web Platform from the ground up Day 2: Hack day, labs and building apps in teams First day we learn, second day we code. What are Web Camps? Web Camps are free, two-day events that allow attendees to learn and build on the Microsoft Web Platform. At camp, they will hear from Microsoft…(read more)
I've been travelling some, and I have a few more trips at Microsoft WebCamps before I take a much needed break and stop travelling until 2011. I went to Munich, Cairo, and Egypt a few weeks back and presented on ASP.NET MVC (both Beginner and Advanced), .NET 4 in general, Making Your Blog Suck Less , and Information Overload . I presented at Mix 10 on Web Development and Security with Phil Haack . Last week I was in Belgium and The Netherlands and gave some talks as well. I thought it would be nice to put all my recent talks in one place. So, here's some video recordings of some of my recent talks. I hope you enjoy watching them as much as I did giving them.

This last week over a 7 day period, I went to Munich, Cairo and Dubai. I presented in three keynotes and did a total of 10 sessions. I crossed 12 time zones and missed my kids. I talked to/with/at about 3000 people. I'm utterly shattered. I took some video while I was travelling with my Creative Vado HD and slapped it into Windows Live Movie Maker just now. Here's my trip montage. You could call this either "The Glamourous Life of a Technical Speaker" or "If this is Tuesday, this must be Cairo" or "Scott needs to learn to say No." It was great fun, I spoke at VSOne in Munich. I talked about .NET 4 and ASP.NET MVC. We also had a nice Nerd Dinnner . Then I headed over to Cairo Code Camp and the turnout was…(read more)
While I was at PDC last week in Los Angeles I got to present an ASP.NET MVC 2 presentation. Phil has been home playing with his new baby so I was thrilled to be able to give a presentation on his behalf. I gave the talk immediately after the Day 2 keynote a few minutes after they announced that they were giving all attendees custom laptops. This talk was a (virtually) no slides, just demos talk. I showed some new ASP.NET MVC 2 features, some tips and techniques that aren't/weren't ASP.NET MVC 2 specific. I also mentioned some community projects that are doing some cool things in the ASP.NET MVC space like MVCContrib and MVCTurbine . You can watch the HD version of the talk using Silverlight Smooth Streaming 1280×720 here or the non-HD…(read more)
In just a couple of weeks I’ll be in Durban, South Africa presenting three sessions at Tech Ed. These are the sessions:
Day: Monday, 04 August 2008, 09:15 – 10:30
Location: Session Room 07
One of the benefits of using a MVC methodology is that it helps enforce a clean separation of concerns between the models, views, and controllers within an application. In the very near future, ASP.NET will include support for developing Web applications using an MVC-based architecture. The MVC pattern can also help enable red/green test-driven development (TDD) where you implement automated unit tests, which define and verify the requirements of new code, before you actually write the code itself. Join us for a dive into the new MVC Framework and learn how to leverage this new alternative in your own applications.
Day: Monday, 04 August 2008, 16:15 – 17:15
Location: Session Room 08
Check out the latest and greatest with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. From the CSS designer to JavaScript Intellisense, Visual Studio 2008 packs a powerful punch for building rich web applications. You’ll also see how to use LINQ data access and unit testing in a web application.
Day: Tuesday, 05 August 2008, 16:45 – 17:45
Location: Session Room 07
Discover how you can take advantage of the latest enhancements to ASP.NET and Visual Studio 2008 for building Web applications in your real-world applications. Enhance your web application with AJAX, Silverlight, and LINQ data access. You’ll also see how to use ASP.NET Dynamic Data to build a data entry site in a matter of minutes.
* Dates, times, and locations can change, so check your schedules!
I hope to see some of you there, so please stop by and say hi!
As a follow up to my previous post, here are links to Scott Hanselman’s posts:
As Scott notes, you won’t be able to run the demo code and you won’t be able to compile it either since the ASP.NET MVC framework is not yet available.
I’d like to thank everyone who came to our talks and also those of you who stopped by afterwards to chat with us! And also those few of you who stopped by for photo opportunities
