The first [live .Net Rocks show](http://www.franklins.net/dotnetrocks.asp) was aired last week. And it was a hit. This is by far one of the most interesting and lively shows that have come out of the DNR hall of fame. **Rory's debut** Rory is an intelligent, funny guy. He adds to the show a lot of humor and has some very good questions. Since this was hist first show it's understandable that he was pretty quiet for the first hour or so, but it would only do good if he were to be more part of the goings ons in the show. **Interactive commercial** This was a brilliant move on Carl's side. Bringing on a guy from DataDymamics to actually talk and interact with the panel made all the difference in the world. It turned out to be a very informative and interesting discussion, and ultimately a much better commercial than a prerecorded one. good work. There was also a good back and forth with the discussion on reporting services for SQL server which brought up lots of very important points. Things which would probably never have come up had it not been for the DD guy on air with the panel. **Dan Appelman rocks** The discussion with Dan was lively, funny and interesting. May there be more like these. **Conslusion** If there were more shows like this I'd buy a car and get a job far far away just so I could listen to them while driving. (what, you thought I could only write bad stuff? geez) ## More in Blogging [All posts in Blogging](https://osherove.com/blog/category/blogging) - Feb 18, 2004 ### [Israeli .Net Bloggers](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/2/18/israeli-net-bloggers.html) - Feb 15, 2004 ### ["How do I open a weblog here?"](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/2/15/quothow-do-i-open-a-weblog-herequot.html) - Feb 5, 2004 ### [Pasting nicely formatted code into your blog](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/2/5/pasting-nicely-formatted-code-into-your-blog.html) - Jan 26, 2004 ### [Some new blogs and a story of quantity vs. quality](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/1/26/some-new-blogs-and-a-story-of-quantity-vs-quality.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.
