Normally, I don’t promote videos and stuff that I haven’t actually watched, but since I’m still buried under vacation emails, and I know that it’s just got to be good stuff, I recommend checking out:
Erik Meijer: Democratizing the Cloud
and
Brian Beckman: Monads, Monoids, and Mort
Erik and Brian are just two crazy guys with lots of crazy ideas who’ve been a lot of fun to interact with over the past couple of years… Without Erik, there’d be no XML support coming in VB and he’s added a lot to our LINQ discussions. And, well, I haven’t quite figured Brian out yet, but I’m working on it! <g>
Thanks
