Many thanks to the many volunteers, live studio audience and presenters. This was an all volunteer effort!
One note on the default player.. I tested this out at a very slow speed, and it may buffer a few times in the first minute of play during the theme song with lots of video action but settles right down for smooth play after that, just in case you experience this:
1) either ride it out, or
2) view the highdef wmv by clicking here to play in your media player, or
3) right mouse click on this link and choose save target as to download… or
4) using the pull down menu under the player, or
5) slip ahead a minute on the time line hovering over the bottom of the video.
Size=400meg. Hopes that helps because it is well worth it to view this in its entirety, with great content and 4 MVP speakers who are awesome!

Developer Challenges this episode solves…
How can you quickly display and navigate a large, detailed image or a panorama of images on the web, and not be extremely slow to view?
What can you use to build a website that supports ASP.NET, Deep Zoom Composer images, AJAX, and Silverlight videos? … and do it quickly?
Do you wish you could find that perfect piece of code that you know you’ve written before?
You know how to write a query in SQL but how do you do it in LINQ? What tools are there to help you understand LINQ and what it is doing behind the scenes?
You have the source art from your design group, but how do you convert that into WPF or Silverlight?
You need to create a website for your group, and you would like to have a solid codebase as a starting point and get your feet wet in a real world Silverlight application.

Are you tired of writing wire up code, based on events in WPF or Silverlight, like storyboard1.Begin() on a mouse click event? Join 
I don’t physically have test devices, how do I develop for so many different screen sizes on mobile devices? How do I make money selling my application for a mobile device? Can I develop for Windows Mobile 6.5 now?
My browser-based blog posting tools are clunky and difficult to use – there’s got to be an easier way! Also, 
How do you find out about developer events? Find out by watching this clip. Save the dates for the PDC and mark your calendar for many SQL Saturdays, Code Camps, MSDN Events, WinMoDevCamps, and more coming your way. Not only is it important to know tools, but it is perhaps even more challenging just keeping up with tool availability and many other developer resources such as thrivedev, bizspark, and Bytes by MSDN .
