C# 2005 Express WebCast 1 of 2 is now complete!

Before:

Less than 12 hours to the RTC Building Webcast...

After:

How can something be both harder and easier than you would expect at the same time? Well, that is how I feel right about now. After completing my first web-cast, I realize that the things I find cool or important, aren't always what other people find cool and important. The chat focused far too much on RTC frameworks in the beginning for most people. However, that is one of the most important sections to me. It demonstrates that RTC can solve immensely important problems, but it is being heavily underused at the moment. It shows that the technology is in it's infancy, and that the bar most people perceive to using the technology, is much lower than expected.

I'm a little more knowledgable about what people want now.  They want the goodies. And I need to practice my application sharing demos a bit more to make sure they go flawlessly. Well, as flawlessly as humanly possible. I need little cheat sheets, that allow me to do things quickly I guess, but is that the right way to go? If you see someone pop from property to property with super human ease, do you really believe they are doing something? At the end, when I implemented the WebBrowser protocol, I had never actually rehearsed it, and it still went fast and smooth. There was some designer fumbling, but what is of more value, seeing someone do something quickly and for the first time, or super quickly in a practiced manner?

Well, I'll be asking myself these questions all night in preparation for tomorrow's web-cast on a Poker application.

Agreed! Thought the webcast was great! (I have never been here before, I'm here cause I saw the presentation.)

In fact the one thing was that you really were to hard on yourself about was formatting code, PLEASE FORMAT THE CODE (heh) I found it unreadable the way C# Express was generating it and as you formatted it, I could easily process what was what and it made it a lot more useful to me cause I could understand what was being written (When your seeing this low-framerate desktop and your hiting tab it looks like to code just appears so it was hard to "get") so again thats why the formatting helped a lot!

All in all great job!! Wish I could attend the poker one but I have the IRL meeting at the same time :-( But it gets recorded so thats cool.

P.S. (Last comment) I also liked that you ran into a couple of compile snags way to often things are so pre-packaged that I think I get less out of it, I mean were going to run into the exact same things when we try and write it :-)

I agree with Rich. The webcast was great and I hope the Poker webcast will go even better.
