More Signal Less Noise

Did You Try to Attend A WebCast Today??

 

 

Apparently a Web Cast cancellation sent out months ago did not reach some 34 loyal, innocent and now very frustrated users; to whom I sincerely apologize.

It was not my intention to leave you in limbo; in fact I didn't even know about the meeting until I received an email from one or two folks asking if something went wrong (nice of them to give the benefit of the doubt). There are no excuses, except to say that we tried carefully to inform everyone many weeks ago when we changed the schedule.

There are two webcasts left on the schedule

  • Skinnable Custom Controls on November 12
  • Deep Zoom on December 17

After that, I'm going to pull back from Webcasts and think long and hard about how to use that medium more effectively.

In any case, if you were there, waiting, and wasting your time, I do apologize, and if you drop me a line and let me know, I'll see if I can't get you a pass to the on line version of Programming Silverlight once we're up on Safari as my way of apologizing.

What a great picture for the post, Jesse!

I was more concerned that this silly-axx place had blocked me from viewing webcasts, so am relieved.

I DO remember seeing that a webcast was cancelled, but since the notice came through I figured this was NOT that one :)

No big deal to me... I just flipped back and forth now and again.

Thanks for all you guys do!

Jesse,

I think the best way to learn this material is through the screen cams,  that way you cannot skip a step that is critical, and I can rewatch until I understand it.

Maybe you should reserve web casts for interactive question and answer on a topic?

This was going to be my first webcast and I kept thinking I was doing something stupid until I chatted with a few other attendees. I'll take you up on the free pass offer!!

Hi Jesse,

I was there yesterday too. I had attended previous ones as well and I knew it was gonna be worth the wait. I thought something came up and you couldn't make it... no worries, I'll be attending the next ones.

Keep up the good work and let me know about your Programming Silverlight online offer once available.

Thanks

I agree strongly about webcasts and videos. I'm working on finding a proper role for webcasts.
