Grab Yourself a .NET Nugget

MSDN 'Nuggets'

I remember having a chat with Joel Semeniuk last Autumn around the usefulness (or not) of webcasts. My contention was that they are great for little snippets of information - particularly highly visual demos, but the longer webcasts just pass me by. The good news (for me at least) is that I am not the only person to have thought.

Very useful. Just the right length to watch over a cup of tea.

BTW what software do you guys use to record these type of demos?

Glad you like the Nuggets James. To record them we've used both Windows Media Encoder (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/encoder) which has the advantage of being a free download and Camtasia Studio (http://www.techsmith.com/products/studio) which has some nice features such as cursor highlighting, zoom & pan and integrated editing. The Nuggets you see on the site were recorded with Camtasia Studio and the Windows Media 9 codec.

We'll be releasing new Nuggets on a weekly basis. You can get an RSS feed that will alert you when new content is posted by signing up for MSDN Connection (http://www.microsoft.com/uk/msdn/preferences.aspx).

Do I get fries with that?

Shame they're all in C#... do you know if there are any plans for some VB ones ?

Dan, you make a great point. I think this is just an oversight in the first few nuggets - hopefully there will be some VB ones coming very soon. In the meantime, have you seen the VB at the movies site? There's loads of good videos here that will hopefully give you everything you want and more. http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/atthemovies/ is the URL.

this ought to be opened up, into a www.devnuggets.net web site or something and let anyone submit them (subject to moderation) you'd quickly build up a fantastic set short nuggets, stick the blog for new nuggets up and your cooking on gas...

should i be saying this out loud, i may get the domain and build the site...

Will it also be possible to implement your own indexes on your custom datatypes? Ie. B and R-tree indexing?
