Podcasting has been more fun than I had anticipated
Share |

Going into the whole podcasting adventure was something that I didn’t know if I was ready for or not.  I won’t lie, it has taken a LOT more time than I had initially estimated.  But getting the opportunity to meet and interact with the people that I have has been wonderful.  I thought setting up interviews, given that the site is new, would be difficult.  As it turns out getting people to come on the show has worked out quite well.  So much so that people are now asking to come on the show directly.  Wonderful. So far I...

Just interviewed Atif Aziz
Share |

I just got through interviewing Atif Aziz (@raboof on twitter – foobar spelled backwards!) probably most known (at least to me) for his ELMAH (Error Logging Modules and Handlers) contribution.  We discussed ELMAH, ELMAH’s Veracode Application Security Rating which made OWASP top 10 in 2007 and SANS-CWE top 25, Fizzler, Jayrock, BackLINQ, LINQBridge, and MoreLINQ.  Atif is a very smart guy and you can truly hear his passion for sharing with the development community when speaking with him.  This was a great interview that I think any .net developer could learn a thing or two from.  Look for this interview...
