Just a quick post to share a link to last years videos for the Oredev developer conference http://oredev.org/video Here is my .net debugging presentation where I show off some windbg + new VS.NET features and apart from all the good developer content, you might also want to check out Scott Hanselmans session on Information Overload and managing the workflow with some tips and tricks on how he manages twitter/facebook/email etc. Thank you to the organizers of Oredev for posting these, Tess
