Every November comes around and I’m always reminded how many conference seem to take place about now, it’s kind of crazy – in a good way. I’m on to week three of travel, and haven’t seen my own bed in more nights than I care to count – but ah well! Where I’ve Been Last week was TechEd Europe in Berlin. A great conference with lots of good materials! Coincidentally it took place during the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall, and the celebrations were pretty spectacular! While I was there, I recorded a couple of TechTalks with my good pal Matt, they’re worth checking out!

Here's the slide deck from my session at Web 2.0 Expo last week. I cut out a few things in order to get it to fit in the 50 minute slot they allotted me, so it's kind of short, if you're looking for full details, check out the deck from Fronteers as it has a bit more detail on things. I did add a bit about search providers to this deck, so there is a little new stuff there. It was great to be in NYC for the week, and I met a lot of great people. It was exciting to see all the people who want to see IE8 and hear their excitement about standards and the new features! I can't wait to deliver! Read More...
Here's the deck that I presented today at Fronteers 2008. Seems like people got something out of it, and was told by a couple of people that "wow, I have nothing to complain about any more"! Love it! Read More...
Sorry for being so quiet lately, things have been a little nutty, but in a good way. We've been pretty heads down working on all kinds of fun stuff, the next version of IE, the next version of Expression Web and getting ready to launch Visual Studio 2008. I'm really excited to see that one ship. I worked on it for almost a year before I transitioned to this role, and I know almost all the folks on the team, and am amazed at what they've pulled off! I just got an email from Mariet, who was the primary coordinator of the ReMIX sessions in Europe this spring. All of the sessions in Amsterdam were video taped, and are now available online! So if you didn't make it to MIX or ReMIX, you can see some of the sessions, myself included on the ReMIX website...
Yep, the internet is on! I think most of the comments I got yesterday all revolved around the fact that I posted all my presentations in PPTX format. I work for Microsoft, and well, I use PowerPoint to create my presentations. I figured most people, even if they didn't have PowerPoint on their machines would at least have the viewer so they could see the slides, but it sounds like quite a few people would rather have a PDF or some other format. So, here you go! TechEd: Top 5 Web Blunders ReMIX: Building Your Own Video Site ReMIX: Implementing Rich UI ReMIX: A Tour Around VS2008 ReMIX: Search Engine Optimization for Rich Media Note that these are stored on my personal website, so I can't guarantee how long they'll last as they're not on an official...
In Amsterdam and Zurich, I presented a session called Building Your Own Video Site. It was pretty cool, but sadly, the one hour we had to do the session, there was no real way to build the application up from scratch, so we just used a pre-built sample, and added some new UI and features to it. The site is available to play with today on the MIX07 servers at http://mixer1004.mixsandbox.com and you can see the slides and get the entire video from the MIX07 site . I would include the slides that I used here, but the PPTX is about 10megs, so I'd suggest getting it from the MIX07 site where there's a bigger pipe, and more edge servers. Read More...
At TechEd this year, I presented a session where I presented my top five pet peeves on the web, the biggest and easiest problems to avoid on the web. With how easy it is to share content on the web, I felt that these top five things were the best and easiest to get rid of. In order, I felt they were: 5. Unprofessional Site Design 4. Lousy Content 3. Poorly coded HTML/CSS/JavaScript 2. Inappropriate use of Rich Content 1. Not Being POSH I've attached my slides below, so check them out, and let me know what your pet peeves are!

What a great couple of weeks, and it's not over yet! In the last two weeks, I've been to Orlando, Budapest, and Amsterdam, and I'm headed off to Zurich on Sunday. I've got some down time today and tomorrow before two more full days in Zurich. I've learned a lot, seen some fantastic things, and met some really great people. TechEd 2007 - Orlando I started TechEd off in Orlando a little early as some of my friends were going to be down there for a few parties and other events that were going on so I figured I'd join them. It was a great way to start the trip and great to see my friends, and meet some new folks. Kind of crazy, and a lot of fun. TechEd itself was pretty great. We got to meet lots of cool folks, and the presentations that the IE...
With MIX07 just behind us, there are some fun events coming up in Europe, Asia and else where in the world. REMIX 07 is an opportunity to for people who didn't or couldn't make it to Vegas to see some of the great sessions and events that took place at MIX. But what I like about reMIX is that I get to do a couple of the sessions, and maybe even a keynote. The sessions are still being locked down, but there is a live site with a bunch of the information at http://www.microsoft.com/emea/msdn/visitremix/inde... I'm currently planning on heading to: Budapest, Hungary Amsterdam, Netherlands Zurich, Switzerland I'm also heading to Seville at the end of June for serEstandar.es . The site is in Spanish, which I can't really read, but I can tell you...
