Wally pumps out another podcast.

I have been fortunate enough to be invited to be a guest blogger over at TechTalkBlogs. I have started the ball rolling and hopefully I can keep the momentum going that Rocky and Darren started.

So I finally got around to doing another Podcast. I have been quite busy working mostly on Atlas and making sure Wally keeps himself out of trouble. Hopefully you find it enjoyable. Please excuse my less than "radio like" voice.

On DotNetSlackers, there is an Atlas control competition where you can win an MSDN subscription for writing a good Atlas control.

Yeah corny title I know, but good friend Wally McClure has done a webcast (http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-292013.html) on Atlas which you may want to check out. It covers quite a bit of ground and goes further than a lot of the current webcasts which cover the simpler aspects of Atlas.

So I loaded up Vista on my laptop to show my 15 year old son what it looked like before I blew away the partition it was residing on. It loaded up, I logged on and walked away so he could have a look around the new Windows OS.

I was supposed to get a new ASP.NET podcast done this weekend, but have only done it partialy and not complete yet. It will contain some information around my new Atlas control extender I am working on and also some info around web load testing using Visual Studio Team Test. I worked on a project that had to simulate 10,000 concurrent users using a web farm of servers and client PC's so I am going to talk a little about that. Alas, the podcast is not quite there yet. I hope Wally forgives me.

I have been poking around at DotNetSlackers (http://www.dotnetslackers.com/) lately and looking at some of the new content being offered there. DotNetSlackers is a recent community site developed by MVP Sonu Kapoor and has caught my attention because I have been heavily involved in Atlas lately, and DotNetSlackers has some new Atlas related content on there. There are some new controls developed by Garbin who is extremely knowledgable when it comes to Atlas stuff. Not only has he put up 2 Atlas controls with source code, but he also offers his mashup site that has been developed with Atlas, with full source code.
