MSDN .Net Show

These shows kind of amaze me. I mean, I appreciate Microsoft's general strategy of carpet-bombing developer's with technical information on a new platform like .NET. And the human face that these videos present are a good thing. But does anyone actually have time to watch an hour and a half video on IIS 6? That violates the most important principle of technical communication - scanability. There's way too much information out there to process for this kind of thing.

The quicky 10-minute seminar MSDN videos are of a more reasonable length. Anything longer than that and forget it. Fortunately Microsoft eventually gets around to posting the transcripts for those long MSDN videos. Unfortunately, by the time they're posted I've long since forgotten about it.
