One of the things I liked about .Net rocks is that every so often you get to listen to a really interesting person talk about some trivia regarding some technology aspect of our daily lives. For example, the show where they interview [Alan Cooper](http://www.franklins.net/fnetdotnetrocks/dotnetrocks.aspx?showid=16)\- the inventor of Visual Basic, is one of those shows. Or the one with [Dan Appleman](http://www.franklins.net/fnetdotnetrocks/dotnetrocks.aspx?showid=2), or several others (I recommended you go to the [.NET rocks homepage](http://www.franklins.net/dotnetrocks/) and start listening to the early shows first  down at the bottom) So what do I do on the week where I wait for a new DNR show? Lately I've discovered ITConversations.Com. Think "Talking trivia with leading experts" only on a much larger scale. There are hundreds of conversations out there from open source gurus to security experts to A-list bloggers to conference recordings. It's all there. One just needs to sift through the mountains of material to find what they are really interested in. I've personally found a few gems which I will share with you here every now and again. The best place I've found to start looking for stuff was in the [Software Development](http://www.itconversations.com/series/programming.html) Category. YMMV. I've already burned some stuff I really liked onto Cd's so I'll point them in a CD-layout ready for listening on your way to work: CD1: - [John Udell talks about what's in our tech horizon](http://www.itconversations.com/shows/detail117.html) - [Steve Mcconnell talks about software engineering methodologies](http://www.itconversations.com/shows/detail82.html) CD2: - [Bruce Schneier (Security guru)- Beyond Fear](http://www.itconversations.com/shows/detail119.html) - [Tim O'Reilly - The Software Paradigm Shift](http://www.itconversations.com/shows/detail50.html) CD3: - [Dan Bricklin (Inventor of VisiCalc) takes us down Memory Lane (60 minutes)](http://www.itconversations.com/shows/detail192.html) And here's some stuff I plan on listening to: - [Phil Zimmermann](http://www.itconversations.com/shows/detail116.html) -- PGP Inventor - [Mike Milinkovich](http://www.itconversations.com/shows/detail167.html), executive director, Eclipse Foundation -- Eclipse ## More in Cool sites [All posts in Cool sites](https://osherove.com/blog/category/cool-sites) - Jan 30, 2005 ### [\[OT\] Infinite Cat](https://osherove.com/blog/2005/1/30/ot-infinite-cat.html) - Jan 30, 2005 ### [How to schedule an online meeting between totally different time zones](https://osherove.com/blog/2005/1/30/how-to-schedule-an-online-meeting-between-totally-different.html) - Oct 13, 2004 ### [TopXML releases the System.XML reference online](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/10/13/topxml-releases-the-systemxml-reference-online.html) - Oct 12, 2004 ### [Introducing "Project Distributor" - your .Net file and idea sharing ground](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/10/12/introducing-quotproject-distributorquot-your-net-file-and-id.html) --- ## About the author **Roy Osherove**: Senior Solutions Architect at AWS working on AI for production and AI-driven development; author of The Art of Unit Testing and Elastic Leadership, with about 20 years of consulting and training on unit testing, TDD, team leadership and continuous delivery. ### Sites - [RobotPaper](https://robotpaper.ai/): This blog: AI patterns and anti-patterns, AI and coding agents, and engineering leadership. - [osherove.com](https://osherove.com): Roy's personal site.
