I’ve used this a bit too, but after a while you’ll start to see the benefits of Mike approach.

LOL, despicable behaviour on my part old boy!!!!

For podcasts I’ve been using skype and then Audacity, go for the beta 1.3.xx its stable and has some important features, like dragging tracks and stuff.

For the videos I use Cam studio, which is a bit limited but free and still quite good. You can write text if you don’t like voicing over it, but it will happily record your voice at the same time if you like.
The issue I have with videos is getting the screen set up right so it fit correctly in the you tube screen – if I did more videos, I’d take the time to find out how to do them better…eh, but I cant be asked!!!

As for your presentation skill … no I won’t go there, I have already had my name besmirched on Twitter :-(. On a more serious note, what do you use to create these videos, and your podcasts. I am thinking of trying them, it will be a nice job for some voice over so as not to expose my west country brogue.

Yeah it’s on in the video, but that’s ‘cus it a “fresh” install of Excel – well one that I don’t actually use for writing code in. So yes, it should be turned off, although given my unique spelling and typing skills in my case it’s a 50/50 call some times!

I did think of something that would be genuinely useful -(I think)- the other day – now forgotten of course!, but I would say Mike’s done a really good job with it. I’ve tried a few other unit testing addins and Mike’s one is the best – IMHO.

The addin is Alpha at the moment, so there are few bugs, but its not too bad as the audience is dev’s so we can deal with the odd error message here and there, and they are generally unhandled errors so once you work it out it’s fine.

As for the workbooks, it’s actually one of things that’s really good about xlUnit. It gives good separation of the code. The other frameworks did not do that. You can drop in you existing application workbook if you wanted too, you would just need to reference the workbook in the testing one, and then expose the elements you wanted to test. Once you get into it, it becomes much clearer – I guess I need to work on my technical presentation skills!! LOL ;-)
