Um. Link?

 

[geeklord]

Oops!
Edited my post.

OK, I must be a moron... I've signed up, I've downloaded the express editions and activated my hosting account, but I don't see how to actually view the recorded sessions. I'm even interested in the content, I'm not just doing it for the freebies that I don't need. Anyone care to tell me what I'm missing?

 

[vetteguy]

Hmm...registered, and can get links for the live webcasts, but there doesn't seem to be a way to view the on-demand ones.

Ditto... can someone post a link for the "ON DEMAND WEBCASTS?" These webcasts seem to be quite informative and I cant attend all of them LIVE.
Thanks.

Once you've selected the web casts you want to view after the sign up.. you have to click the calendar icon next to them to add them to your calendar..

That entry in the calendar will then have the link to the actual event.

The times that are posted in the entry will be in PST

The calendar icon is not active on my screen. FWIW I don't have Outlook installed, I use Outlook Express.

after you registered.. you do not see anything like this:

The little calendar icons do appear at the right of each line. However they are not *active* on my screen. When I click on them, nothing happens.

Are you using Outlook or Outlook Express?

 

[jlbenedict]

Outlook 2000

Finally! I got an email with links for each of the sessions that I registered for.

In fo laterz.

Well, just finished the first one. Thanks OP. Now I have to figure out how to view some of the on Demand ones.

 

[OCedHrt]

I think you register for them when you sign up, not after you sign up. Adding the live webcasts to the calender is just for your convenience.

 

[ZeroBlank010]

Ahh.....I missed that part.

What's the difference between the Standard and Professional editions of Visual Studio?

Okay, crossing my fingers on this one. I jumped through all the hoops - now to wait for the software! Hot if this works out.

 

[StormRider]

How long do the webcasts last?

 

[puppyfriend]

Can I play it at 3X speed?

 

[newnameman]

Do you actually have to watch the webcasts?
