In this podcast, I’m joined by Pete Brown and Jeff Burtoft, both of Microsoft, 
to discuss Windows 8.1 for Developers. Pete focuses on XAML, Jeff on HTML and they bring their shared perspective on what’s in store for developers moving from Windows 8 to 8.1.
Jeff Fritz joins me in a discussion of One ASP.Net. This discussion became the
basis for our forthcoming Pluralsight course One ASP.NET From Scratch.
Jeff is a Technical Evangelist for Telerik. He can be reached on Twitter as @csharpFritz and his blogs are
Phil Haack teaches me how to use Git well. 
Note: There were some sound issues with this recording, but the content was so good I decided to post anyway. Please excuse the occasional noises that I couldn’t filter out.
In our industry it is common to have a number of jobs during the course of your career. I’ve benefitted from my experiences at PBS, Citibank, Ziff Davis, AT&T and Microsoft to name just a few.
In recent years I’ve had the privilege to be a Technical Evangelist for Microsoft and for Telerik. But I’m a programmer at heart and have felt a strong desire to get back to coding.
I’ve had a great time at Telerik, where I had a chance to work with outstanding people and extraordinary products. But I’ve been offered a job with Falafel Software, a Telerik partner, and I can’t resist the chance to spend more of my time on hard-core programming.
At Falafel, I’ll be consulting, training and programming. I’ll also be continuing my blog, my podcast, my writing and creating courses for Pluralsight. Falafel is a world-class organization with amazing people, and this was an opportunity far too perfect to turn down.
Thank you all, for your on-going support and interest. The next few years should be very interesting. I look forward to learning and writing more about Windows 8.1 as well as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, One ASP.NET, Mobile and much more.
Pete Brown joins Jon Galloway and me to discuss Windows 8.1 
This is part 1, Pete comes back with Jeff Burtoft later in the month to discuss Windows 8.1 from a developer’s viewpoint.
Pete’s focus at Microsoft is on helping developers create great Windows and device applications. Pete speaks locally in the mid-atlantic US, as well as internationally, and creates content all over the place. Oh, and Pete adores his C64. 🙂
Incredibly pleased to announce my latest Pluralsight Course: C# From Scratch – Part 2.
C# is the language of choice for software developers building web or desktop applications. This course extends part 1 to cover topics such as extensibility, polymorphism, delegates, actions, predicates, lambda expressions and LINQ as well as asynchronous programming.
Thank you for considering my course, and please do leave feedback if you watch.
Scott Hanselman joins me to talk about One ASP.NET, Windows 8 and what he’s been up 
to. Scott is a Principal Project Manager at Microsoft, and one of the most popular personalities on the net; host of three podcasts and author of an incredibly popular blog.
Scott describes himself as a former professor, former Chief Architect in finance, now speaker, consultant, father, diabetic, and Microsoft employee… a failed stand-up comic, a cornrower, and a book author. He is, in short, brilliant and entertaining.
Very proud to announce my latest Pluralsight course: CSS3 From Scratch.
CSS3 is the style standard for HTML5 and for the web. It allows separation of markup (HTML5) from presentation (CSS3) and is key to creating modern web applications.
This course assumes no prior experience with CSS and teaches all you need to know to work effectively with CSS3 and HTML5.
Thank you for considering my course, and please do leave feedback if you watch.
Intel sent me a Haswell Ultrabook to review, and since it runs Windows 8 
and has a multi-touch screen I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it.
The book weighs in at 3 pounds, 3.3 oz. It has a USB-3 on either side, along with a Type-D Micro-HDMI connector, a headphone jack and a hole for the power cord (which lights up to indicate charging) The power-cord is delightfully small and light.
In this special round-table edition of Yet Another Podcast, I’m joined by 
A free for all discussion on writing On Line Training courses, techniques, public speaking, and much more. This is a very exciting and not-to-miss presentation.
Mary Jo Foley is the author of the All About Microsoft blog for ZDNet. She has been following Microsoft since 1984 and is one of our most fascinating returning guests.
Today she talks about /Build and Windows 8.1, Azure and the Microsoft reorganization.
Very proud to announce my latest Pluralsight Course: HTML5 From Scratch
HTML5 is the markup language of the web that has taken the world by storm. In this “from scratch” course, I demonstrate all you need to know about what’s new in HTML5 to get started creating world-class web sites
