Introduction

This weekend I published my personal video highlights form the PDC2008 on YouTube. I took four of the movies straight from my Sony CyberShot camera, the fifth video is a fast paced slide show of all the pictures I took during the PDC. I created this video using Adobe Premier 4.0 Elements.

Hello Cloudy Windows

Don Box and Chris Anderson are teaching Windows Azure how to say Hallo and give the cloud access to their machine's processes.

Boku - Programming for kids

Microsoft research is working on a programming language for kids. Very impressive. Looks more like a game than a programming environment. My kids got very interested in it when they were watching these videos. They asked: "How do you play this game?".

The first video is a little teaser that Microsoft Research produced.

The second movie is a little tutorial that teaches you how to play Boku.

Second Light - First step to 3D illusions

Another one of the Microsoft Research toys. This takes the Surface technology to its next level.

The PDC is as always a great way to recharge your coding batteries. I can't wait to get my hands on some of the cool new stuff.
