Free webcast T-shirts at TechEd 2005

This is mock-up of the t-shirt. Okay, here's the deal. If you come by the webcasts and virutal labs booth at TechEd and show us that you've done one of the following, we'll give you a free T-shirt. To get your limited edition, classic webcasts t-shirt at TechEd 2005, show us one of the following:

  1. Add your blog to http://msdneventsbloggers.net or http://techneteventsbloggers.net. You can also add it right there at the webcasts booth as well.
  2. Post a comment to this blog post using your TechEd name and we'll give you a T-shirt. You'll need your TechEd badge to get the shirt. You can also add a comment right there at the booth. Basically we're looking for ideas on how we can improve our webcasts prorgram.(yes, we're working on sound and the registration issues now).
  3. Blog about our webcasts and events on your own blog and have your blog post show up on our blogger sites (http://msdneventsbloggers.net or http://techneteventsbloggers.net) and we'll give you a  free T-shirt in addition to the free t-shirt you get above for add your blog above.

We'll have two or three desktops at the booth for you to quickly add your blog or post your feedback or comments here. Hope to see you folks at TechEd 2005.

Assuming the name on my badge is my "TechEd name"...consider this a post for a T-shirt. Let the swagging begin!!

By the way, I'd like to compliment the Webcasts crew for providing such a useful educational resource. Great stuff!

# re: Free webcast T-shirts at TechEd 2005

I think that the registration gyrations one goes through for on-demand webcasts is a bit lengthy and cumbersome.

I would like to be able to download a webcast to my box to view later; you could do that some time ago.

As always, more code/samples and less slides.

Thanks for your great webcasts!

# re: Free webcast T-shirts at TechEd 2005

Hi Bryan - You should be able to download the webcasts from the Live Meeting console. we just migrated to Live Meeting 2005 in March,and we've been going back and udpating 3,000+ webcasts so that they can be downloaded. The work is still in progress, so Let me find out for you. If you want, email me at georgeopatmicroosft.com,and I can give you an update on this.

# re: Free webcast T-shirts at TechEd 2005

We just need to know you posted a blog post on our webcasts or events. so if the post is by "TechEd Name" and your name badge says "TechEd Name", then you're all set. :-)

Hi!

It would be great if you could add more on-demand webcasts for us that live in a TOTALLY diffent timezone.
Thursday, June 02, 2005 1:33 AM by Markku Jaatinen

# re: Free webcast T-shirts at TechEd 2005

Some suggestions:

1. If code samples are used in the webcast, please make those samples downloadable.

2. Make the whole webcast available for download for offline viewing.

I have only been doing dev work for a couple of years now and I started getting really serious during the last 1.5 years. Webcasts have been an great resource for me and I can go back to them when needed. I would like to see the code available for download alos.

# re: Free webcast T-shirts at TechEd 2005

The on-demand webcasts are great, as I often can't fit the original time slot into my schedule. Seems like some of the demos don't always work out as the presenter intended, but maybe that's the nature of demos. Yes, sound quality improvements would be nice to see.

# re: Free webcast T-shirts at TechEd 2005

I'd have to agree with a couple of the other posters...I *really* miss being able to download and view the webcasts offline. I've got CDs full of 2002 webcasts that I could watch in my spare time...can't do that with the new ones. Downloadable code chunks would be great, too. A big *thanks* for making the webcasts is in order as well.
Thursday, June 02, 2005 9:14 AM by Tim Furry

# re: Free webcast T-shirts at TechEd 2005

Quite a few of the MS webcasts are very useful, although some of them end up being too high level and end up omitting some of the tech detail that you hoped would be there. Of course you realize this after you watch the whole thing. Other times you just want to get one piece of info - for example there was one on channel 9 just yesterday about backward and forward compat between .net 1.1 and .net 2.0. I got what I needed to know in the first 30 seconds of that one.

(plus I want a free shirt)...

I think you need to do a better job of getting the word out about the webcasts. I just found out about these via a TechEd related feed I subscribe to but will now be adding your webcast feed for the future.

# re: Free webcast T-shirts at TechEd 2005

I'd like to see you do an MCSD series designed to prepare you for the certification exams. You can have a sight where everyone who attends the webcast posts whether they passed and then adds comments on how the test was as well as recommendations to those who haven't taken the test. This could help generate a lot of excitement for becoming an MCSD. I know lots of guys who would get motivated by something like this.
Thursday, June 02, 2005 2:37 PM by Michael Fors

# re: Free webcast T-shirts at TechEd 2005

Not at all. Just think of it in the context of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. After all you need clothing to keep you warm and dry. A free t-shirt goes a long way these days. :-)

# re: Free webcast T-shirts at TechEd 2005

Here's another obligitory t-shirt post.

Oh, and as far as feedback - it would be great if all downloaded webcasts could be played back at 2x speed. I've noticed not all of them can be, but there are times I've stopped watching a webcast because the presenter talks too slowly or that they stumbling along as they are trying to get part of their demo working.

Granted I wouldn't listen to Billy Hollis at 2x speed for fear of my brain exploding...

# re: Free webcast T-shirts at TechEd 2005

I love the webcasts, but I also agree that the amount of registration required could be reduced. And yes, I would love a t-shirt.

# re: Free webcast T-shirts at TechEd 2005

I think an RSS feed with enclosures for on-demand web casts would be awesome. I subscribe to the main feed and see what all of the webcasts are, but if htey were more targeted (such as ASP.NET, BizTalk, etc.) then enclosures would save me time.

Oh yeah - Tech Ed name is Joel Ross.
Friday, June 03, 2005 10:27 AM by Joel Ross

# re: Free webcast T-shirts at TechEd 2005

I'll be seeing you guys at the booth next week...save a shirt for me. :-D

My only problem with the web casts is finding the time to sit down and watch them - my work is pretty hectic and spending time watching hasn't been officially approved as work time. But I'll see what I can do. Do you guys have any plans to some "quick hit" types of programs? These are solutions to things that you can show in a few minutes or less, instead of a longer program.

# re: Free webcast T-shirts at TechEd 2005

I always like a good T-Shirt, especially Blue!

I particularly enjoyed the Gaming 100 Level Webcasts from the Coding4Fun website. Great way for us serious coders to relax a little and remember our Commadore 64 days.

The only improvement on your current webcasts I could offer would be to stretch out and go for some really wild topics on areas that don't get a lot of attention and may not be in Microsofts core business like AI, or Robotics.

Show what other people outside of microsoft are doing with the MS technologies and how developers can get involved or do their own wacky stuff (like breaking X box firmwares ;> )

Sunday, June 05, 2005 2:48 PM by Georgeo Pulikkathara

# re: Free webcast T-shirts at TechEd 2005

I tend to watch the webcasts on a separate monitor while I work. I listen to them and when there is something I need to pay close attention to, I simply pause and go back and watch the particular part again when I can give it my full attention. It's surprising how much I learn just listening/watching in the background. Please keep up the great work.
