Last week we but a form up on www.asp.net so that folks could send requests for How-Do-I video topics. Today I recieved the folowing thoughtful feedback from a values customer.

"Make new versions of all the videos without the ridiculous, yet highly annoying mouse click sounds...:-(((."

To whoever the anonymous poster of that comment was, I reply….

Dear Sir, thanks for your feedback. Unfortunatly, I find it necesaary to use the mouse during the presentations, I will however begin trainer is the secret art of “stealth mousing.  

To the hundreds of other folks who have taken the time to send meaningful suggestions and feedback.

MANY THANKS!

I'm glad that you find the videos valuable and that you are liking asp.

I'll be blogging about the suggestions. Please keep them coming.

It's Bill Hilf, Microsoft General Manager of Platform Strategy.

There was allot of press over the last few weeks about the sudden departure of Martin Taylor.

I've had several questions about what this means as Martin was influential in Microsoft strategy and close to Steve Ballmer.

In actuality, Martin moved out of platform strategy some time ago and Bill's been the man for a number of months already.

I had several conversations with Martin and he is a very bright guy.

But I've had lots of conversations with Bill and he is a REALLY bright guy. (In fact I’ll be on stage with Bill this weekend at the Microsoft Global Technology Exchange.)

I almost went to work for Bill last year but he really needed me in Redmond and I just wasn’t ready to move yet.

So keep your eye out for Bill. In the wake of Bill's announcement a few weeks ago were all looking to see how Microsoft thought leadership re-aligns.

I read A LOT of developer books. Many I like, many I loath.

If I were going to teach a course on C#, I would probably choose Murach’s C# 2005 as the textbook.  

Unlike most technical books, this book is writing as a training resource. So while it makes a great “textbook”, it’s a “How Do focused learning resource.

But UNLIKE a lot of textbooks, it is easy to read (and therefore learn from), it’s up-to-date, including detailed coverage of the latest C# 2.0 language constructs, and it has a commercial programming feel so it’s goal is not simply to provide academic coverage of the programming language, but rather how to write good code with C# 

Wanna learn C# ? Wanna learn more about C#? Want a great desk reference for C#?

Buying this book should be a no-brainer !
