Countdown to PDC2008: By Developers, for Developers: Don Box and Chris Anderson

Posted By: Dan Fernandez | Aug 29th @ 2:18 PM

Clothing optional keynotes, comparisons to the pains of childbirth, the joys of sharing an office, how to give a 90 minute speech minus PowerPoint and only writing 130 lines of code, and why PDC is the most special developer conference on the planet . . . this is one amusing show starring PDC keynote speakers, and developers by day, Chris Anderson and Don Box. Not to mention, Mike introduces a new PDC Hard Hat Challenge!

PS: The brainteaser from last week remains unsolved – will you be the Mensa member who can finally crack the code??

What a fun episode to film! While all of our keynotes are sure to be chock full of developer goodness (tm), I think that Chris and Don will be a blast to watch. They have a great sense of humor, and they're true geeks.

Also, as the description notes, last week's Hard Hat Challenge remains unsolved. I've added a few hints to the comment section if you want to take a stab at it. Good luck!

Orand...we use a kitchen timer to keep the show short and tight. That's what you may have seen Jennifer dial at the beginning of the video. The timer tends to run a bit fast, which is why it went off at 9:24. I suppose we could explain it at the beginning of each show, but we've probably gotten lazy by assuming that everyone has seen our prior shows.
