Behind the camera on Channel 9

  • Article

Recently, at the suggestion of Robert Scoble, I started going behind the camera on Channel 9 doing interviews and video recording. Listed below are the recent Channel 9 interviews I've done behind the camera. The most recent ones listed first along with Scoble's comments when he posted them on the Channel 9 web site. I have more videos in the queue to be posted soon and future ones planned on various Visual Studio, .NET language, and VFP topics.
