I remember the last few PDCs where you had to wait a couple of months before you could get the recorded sessions, now they are being released within a day… awesome progress for online media. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;UPDATE: The technology behind this is cool, Silverlight and Streaming means you can easily and quickly jump around the content and video without having to worry about the buffering. Very Cool!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://sessions.microsoftpdc.com/public/timeline.aspx"&gt;PDC 2008 / Agenda / Sessions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9023823" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/the_hardman/archive/tags/Silverlight/default.aspx">Silverlight</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/the_hardman/archive/tags/PDC/default.aspx">PDC</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/the_hardman/archive/tags/Windows/default.aspx">Windows</category></item><item><title>PDC2008 | Social | Contests | ShowOff</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/the_hardman/archive/2008/07/28/pdc2008-social-contests-showoff.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 28 Jul 2008 03:44:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8781601</guid><dc:creator>Matthew Hardman</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://blogs.msdn.com/the_hardman/comments/8781601.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://blogs.msdn.com/the_hardman/commentrss.aspx?PostID=8781601</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://blogs.msdn.com/the_hardman/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=8781601</wfw:comment><description>&lt;p&gt;When it doesn’t rain it pours as they say…&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt; Two blogs within 5 ten minutes.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Now I have not had the chance to go to PDC for a while, but if you are a developer then this is an awesome conference to go to.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This year the team are hosting a competition called “ShowOff”, where essentially you will get to demonstrate your “cool” applications in front of thousands of people.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Check out more at the link…&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.microsoftpdc.com/Social/Contest/ShowOff.aspx"&gt;PDC2008 | Social | Contests | ShowOff&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8781601" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/the_hardman/archive/tags/Community/default.aspx">Community</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/the_hardman/archive/tags/PDC/default.aspx">PDC</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/the_hardman/archive/tags/Software+Development/default.aspx">Software Development</category></item></channel></rss>
