Last week I was in Sydney for the Mobile and Embedded DevCon (MEDC) and it was a great opportunity to catch up with what’s been happening in the Microsoft space.  With TechEd 2007 just around the corner, I was able to chat with Darryl Burling on just why it’s going to be an event not to be missed. 
And the […]

Last year before I left New Zealand I managed to grab some time with Mitch right after the Ready tour - around the time that Vista and Office went RTM.  I must apologise to both Mitch and listeners for the delay in getting this posted but better late than never.  Although there are a couple […]

It’s been so long I’ve almost forgotten the process for getting new shows on the air.  Anyhow I’m back and have a couple of pre-recorded sessions to upload before we get onto new content.  The first of these was recorded at the March meeting of the Perth .NET Community of Practice where I covered a range […]

Last week both the Perth SQL User Group and the Perth .NET Community of Practice had the privilege of having David Lemphers present.  Whilst Mr DotBoto got a bit of publicity at the .NET group, Dave saved the discussion of Linq and the future of data access layers for the SQL group.  Luckily I was […]

In the coming months we are likely to see a new style of applications being built.  Although SQL Mobile has been around for some time, it has previously been restricted to applications designed for Windows Mobile devices or Tablet PCs.  With the release of SQL Server Compact Edition desktop applications can be built and deployed […]

Over the last couple of weeks we have seen the release of a number of core products from Microsoft such as Vista, Office and of course v3 of the .NET Framework.  One of the four pillars of the .NET Framework is Windows Cardspace and joining me on the show this week is Nigel Parker from […]

With the concept of Web 2.0 rapidly becoming a convoluted mis-match of technologies this weeks podcast seeks to make some sense out of this mess.  I’m joined by Darryl Burling, who is part of the Microsoft DPE Team here in Wellington.

The first of two podcasts this week is with Joel Pobar, formerly with the CLR team at Microsoft.  In this show we look at what really makes the .NET Framework tick and the direction of languages, compilers, machine learning and other intersting topics.

This week Dave Lemphers was in New Zealand so it was a perfect opportunity to sit down and have a chat about life as a Developer Evangelist with Microsoft.  The general theme for the show was around the continual learning cycle that all developers have to engage with just to keep up with what is […]

One of the most interesting discussions I had at TechEd this year was with Rob Farley about Certification and the MVP program.  Last week, in recognition of the work he has done in the SQL Server community and feedback around the beta exam program, Rob was made a Microsoft MVP.  I managed to corner Rob and […]

This year we have not only seen a whole variety of Windows Mobile 5 devices hit the market, we have also seen the first UMPC devices being released. With the launch of Vista just around the corner (are you “ready for a new day“?) we will see operating system convergence such that Tablet PCs, […]

As we progress towards the looming end of yet another year it is time to get excited.  While the end of the year is usually a festive season regardless, this year with the imminent launch of Vista and Office 2007 we, as developers, have another reason to celebrate.  In this show I catch up with fellow […]

After a few glitches here and there, the first show is all recorded and where possible the bumps have been removed. I this show I spend some time talking with Athena Pawlowski (dotNET solutions) and Adam Cogan (SSW) about User Groups. Having helped run the Perth .NET Community of Practice for a number of years […]

Hey folks,
While Cam and I were up at Microsoft Australia Tech Ed 2005 a couple of weeks ago, Cam managed to squeeze in a quick interview with Dr Neil Roodyn about MSN Virtual Earth.

Dr Neil doesn’t actually work for Microsoft. He’s just what Tony Soprano would refer to as “a friend of ours”. He’s […]
