Keep in the outstanding work, I cant express how much I love API design and Simplicity from your perspective.

I agree 100% with Marcos's comment. It's a real service to the programming community, not just .NET, making this available. Your book was one of the best I read in 2006 and has been the cause of some enjoyable personal agonizing over my own humble API designs since reading it. This is a subject area I can never read / listen / watch enough about so once again a big thank you!

Krzysztof, the further into the video I get the more I wish I could have this available to watch and refer back to off-line. Is there any chance MS could make available say just the audio track and slides (or even just the audio, i.e. a .WMA file) as actual downloads?

Kind regards,

tom

It would be great to watch it on Pocket PC. You know, sitting the whole 3 hours startting to screen is not practical.

Could you, please, make it available for download?

Thanks a lot!

Great presentation. Maybe I'm weird, but I'd love to buy a sort-of "Books on Tape" version of the Framework Guidelines to listen to while at work.

Thanks for your efforts.

Don't usually provide comments, but I have to say that is one of the best presentations on API and framework design I've seen. Keep up the good work.

I'll ++ to the download option. I can't watch the video as it buffering every 10 seconds. I have a very fast connection, so I have no idea why the latency is so high...

Thanks for your great work, I really enjoyed your&BradA book.

I agree with the above comments, really interesting and useful presentation, even for non-dotnet people.

I'd like to see more on exceptions versus return values in API design as I've encountered (ever since C++ went mainstream in 1990) many APIs, in-house and 3rd party, that suffer from returning every failure via an exception.

re: Online lecture on API design

Matthew Knapp — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 19:04:12 GMT

I am reading Framework Design Guidelines where you talk about the (lack of) usability testing of the System.IO namespace. I felt a warm feeling inside while reading it because still to this day I can not manage to write code to open a text file without going back to look at previous examples. I always thought I was just an idiot...turns out I am amoung friends! So my question is - did anything ever happen to improve the usability of the System.IO namespace after your usability testing?

Excelent presentation, thanks for adding it to your blog. Looking forward for some more later.

kcwalina — Mon, 16 Apr 2007 20:35:11 GMT

Thanks for all the good words about the presentation. I will try to get an offline version of the netcast, but it might take some time.

Matthew, File.ReadAllText and similar APIs were added to alleviate the usability problems.

Initially I thought that 3 hours of a presentation is an overkill, but I got nicely surprised. The lecture was comprehensive and touched many issues I needed to face as an SDK developer.

I cannot wait to get through the book.

Thanks a lot for this and keep the great work.

Hey Krzysztof!

I finally got the video to show up and I'm glad I did! Thanks for sharing this with us, it's really helpful for the community and not just .NET

I can't wait to watch your next presentation!

Thanks again.

Nice presentation! Although I had to give up after 1h30min. Will check it again later but wish to be able to view the video/slides offline. (Don't try to be rude, but it's even better if there are only the slides with your voice instead of having too look at two different movies :-))

KC,

this has nothing to do with the presentaion:) Instead l would like to know with the .NET 3.0 is introduced to developer community now, what would be the changes you suggest for current coding standards or design guidlines. Prefer new blog entry:)
