Ever wish you could just look through everything you’ve killed recently to find out if you killed that piece of text that you think you killed, but you’re not quite sure?
I haven’t, but kind of wish I did, because this package looks interesting.
Wondering if my workflow obviates the need for it, or, I’m just “doing it wrong”.
elmacro shows keyboard macros or latest interactive commands as emacs lisp.
This package might pique your curiosity. Surely everyone has wondered how to do something like this, especially if you use the macro recorder a lot.
While I don’t have an immediate need for it, I look forward to being able to address it with this package.
Building Web Apps & Services with Entity Framework and Web API.
If you already know JavaScript, C#, an ORM, and IoC, and all of the other stuff for dealing with, then this is a fast-track to getting on-board with them on the MS platform. Yea, it is fast, but you can get the details elsewhere. This is the place just to see it happen. So many value-adds are referenced in the video. Don’t want to talk it up to much, but it is just very valuable. The major failing here is that the examples are no longer correct though, so you have to do research just to make sense of what is happening and how to implement it.
Windows Azure: The Big Picture.
You won’t view anything in this video and say “Oh my goodness I never imagined you could do that with a computer”. What will happen though is that now you will know how Azure lets you do that with a computer, all of their offerings from virtualization to networking to message queues covered. That is great to know. I chose this video specifically because it is the shortest. Further digging is required.
C# Tips and Traps.
Each session contains 5-10 pieces of information. The topics are varied and unrelated. That is OK. Basically, everything that you learn here, you ought to know. They are things that will, were you to not know these things, would easily identify you as not being a real .NET developer. Don’t get me wrong, you won’t learn anything here that will radically change your contribution. Rather, it is just little things, that, if you don’t know them, you will look really stupid, not dumb, just stupid. You probably won’t even remember them either, that is, until you run into that situation. At that point, you will recall “Hey I saw that video…” and that is where it pays off. Even just stuff like partial classes and functions, I haven’t thought about that for a long time, and hey, thanks for the reminder. Another nice one is seeing how easy it is to implement debugger visualizations with annotations. Knew you could, but didn’t realize it was that easy. So if you have 2-3 hours, then watch it, at 2X.
The Case for PowerShell.
Brief, terse, compact, too many jokes. Excellent details. Not training, rather informational. Must have scripting/automation experience to appreciate the implications of what is covered. Without that experience, the presentation could be viewed as too light-weight.
IIS for Developers.
Brief, terse, compact. Excellent details required to deploy a system to IIS. Not training, rather informational. Must have server/system-deploy experience, and therefore questions, before viewing.
Table.el is a package that lets you utilize tables in plain text files.
It also works correctly within org-mode files.
What I found most interesting was the ability to split individual cells vertically and horizontally.
Introducing DevOps to your organization can be done really, really simply.
First have the project team lead set up the development environment on his machine, all the while documenting how to do so. Second have a another team member follow and execute the steps. The lead and team member should discuss and review the process and make improvement. Third, have an engineer totally unfamiliar with the project follow the steps to the point where he can successfully run the automated tests in less than sixty minutes.
When this may be done successfully, it is time for a DevOps engineer to automate that process.

The luminosity in this poem is… I am speechless.
The expansiveness of it is just so beautiful.
