Damn, that PDC timer!  Tell @anyware to put a full 10 minutes on the hamburglar this week so we can tell you who won!  :)

On this week’s episode, @anyware and @ritzy host Jaime Rodriguez, the technical evangelist giving a full day pre-conference deep dive on Windows Phone 7 application and development in Berlin on November 8.  Jaime gives a sneak peek into some of the learnings of building a WinPhone app, and talks about some of the details his workshop will include such as MVVM and architecture, integrating user experiences, Silverlight optimization, FREE tools, plus discussion involving the rich marketplace opportunities. Sign up for his seminar before it’s too late!  http://europe.msteched.com/

@anyware and @ritzy debut their first Countdown to TechEd Europe show, a 10 minute behind the scenes peek from the planning committee at Microsoft headquarters.  For our first act we cover the basics, like if you register by August 31 you’ll save €200, the deep-dive excitement of the pre-conference workshops, and how you can help influence the content presented if you tell us your session preferences by August 12.  Many more shows to come in the weeks ahead where we’ll keep you abreast of the latest and greatest TechEd opportunities, and maybe even have a surprise or two! http://europe.msteched.com/

It’s the FINAL Countdown!!! @anyware and @ritzy report on MIX10 statistics and tell behind the scenes stories from the conference.  Guess how much coffee and how much bandwidth MIX10 users went through this year, and who got a broken nose!

Sure, sure. MIX is mostly all about the great keynotes, sessions, networking, and all the awesome content that is going to make your brain hurt in a good way, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go out for a good time while you’re in Sin City! On this, our last Countdown to MIX10 show, @anyware and @ritzy get advice from THE cocktail evangelist, Robert Hess, who tells us where to find a mean cocktail in Vegas. If we’re not at the conference, you might find us bellied up to a bar somewhere, and if you do, maybe your next round will be on us.  See ya in Vegas!

This is our last show for MIX! Thanks all for your tremendous help!!!

A very special guest joins @anyware and @ritzy this week to talk about his upcoming MIX10 keynote. Yep, the man of the 10 minutes is Scott Guthrie, vice president of the developer division at Microsoft, and a true veteran of every MIX event that has been held. Scott teases his upcoming MIX keynote (don’t think everything that could be leaked has been leaked!), and talks a bit about his personal life and how he keeps up (sleep is for wussies). Why would an executive of an engineering division spend so much time preparing speeches and working with the community? Find out why from Scott as he talks about the conference planning process and how feedback from customers and partners is what keeps it real.

On this week’s show, @anyware and @ritzy talk about a cornucopia of MIX activities, including mobile content at MIX10 where you’ll learn about developing applications *and* games for the next generation of Windows Phone.  Yes, there will be Phone sessions.  No, we can’t say more than that at this time. :) Stay tuned and check back often.  http://live.visitmix.com/ 

What, only 10 weeks until MIX?  It can’t be!  Oh, yes, it can be and it is say @Ritzy and @Anyware who are launching their first countdown to MIX show where in just ten minutes each week they’ll give you the inside scoop from the MIX planning team at Microsoft.  What have we got so far?  Community voting on content!  MIX10 WorkshopsFree hotel rooms at the Mandalay Bay!  Contests!  And more, more, more!  Register for MIX by January 15 and save a boatload.  What are you waiting for?  http://live.visitmix.com/
