Joe Stagner, ASP.NET/Web community guru, has just launched a new podcast on MisfitGeek.com. In this first episode he talks with Scott Hunter, a Senior Program Manager Lead on the ASP.NET Team, about the future of Web Forms and how Web Forms compares with ASP.NET MVC. He also talks about web data controls and compares the web forms development experience to the ease of VB6 forms development which is interesting to me.

Episode #1 - Scott Hunter on the Future of Web Forms

This Joe’s first podcast and he’s taking suggestions on how to make it better so please send him comments here.

Enjoy!

CodeCast Episode 20 with Yours Truly!

In the latest episode of CodeCast, Ken interviews me about my role on the Visual Studio Community Team. Ken caught me a couple weeks ago when I was in Redmond and we had a chat in the lobby of building 41. Ken and I are good friends and go way back so it was a fun interview. We chat about Open XML, OBA, and I plug one of my favorite features of VS2010.

I come on about 25 minutes into the show. And you know how sometimes you can’t stand hearing your own voice? Well I thought I sounded pretty good! – Ken always has cool gadgets so the recording device he had must have been top-o-the-line. ;-)

Another Techie Podcast to Check Out: Sod This

Beth Massi — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 00:12:00 GMT

Oliver Sturm and Gary Short have recently started a new podcast called Sod This: http://www.sodthis.com. I met Oliver at SDC in the Netherlands last Fall and he is a really funny dude who loves to drink beer like me so naturally we clicked. ;-) I’m listening to Episode #2 right now with guest star Richard Campbell.

In Oliver’s words:

Sod This is a mixture of two rather technical people having a chat, discussions about relevant or not so relevant technology, programming questions and sock monsters, and interviews that Oliver and Gary record with people they meet at the events they attend around the world. It doesn't have a fixed length and they don't tell how often new episodes become available, so you'll just have to go to the web site and check it out!

Good luck with the show, guys!
