Last episode of The .Net Show!

Just saw that there was a new episode (Silverlight) of The .Net Show out, and it started with telling us that this is the last episode! I've been watching this show on and off since its startup in December 1999! The show has been running for almost 8 years which makes this the longest running series at Microsoft. However, all good things have to come to an end. But it’s sad. I’ve really enjoyed this show and for a time (before blogging and rss) it was one of my few sources to new .Net technology inside the walls of Microsoft. Robert Hess’s (the host) last words in the show were:

“Well, until next time, we'll see you on the Web and I might recommend you check out channel9.msdn.com. You never know who you might see show up there.”

So I guess this isn’t the last time we see Robert. Thanks for all your hard work on this show during the years, giving us the latest news and insight into .Net technology! Salute!

about me!

Hi, I'm Jon Arild Tørresdal. I’m an Architect for the Norwegian insurance company Frende Forsikring, chapter Lead of Norwegian .Net User Group (NNUG) in Bergen and .NET editor for InfoQ. I've been coding professionally since 1998 and on .NET since 1999. I'm an early adapter always looking for new ways to put technology to use for the company I work for, at NNUG or just as an excuse to do some coding at home.

I’m a great fan of Agile practices like XP, Scrum, Kanban and Lean. My first experience with Agile was in 2006, when I introduced Scrum to CMA Contiki (my former employer), which was a great success. Later I found the lack of engineering practices in Scrum pulled me closer to Extreme Programming. I’m constantly trying to motivate developers, testers and other agile team members to adapt the Agile way of thinking to improve the overall quality of software delivery. My motivation for studying these practices is to constantly improve the way I and others work in my organization; both by having fun and adding value to our customers.

I’m also a speaker, focusing on engineering practices (clean code), Agile and best practices (often represented in forms of patterns). At work I often find myself doing presentations on technologies we're about to adapt or how to improve our agile process.

Except from work I am married to my beautiful wife, Gry Helene and we live together with our son Jesper. I love good food and wine, especially red wine from northern Italy. I'm trying to start a collection without any great luck so far :-)
