Today was an interesting day for the live stream… I had a meeting with my colleague in .NET marketing, and was given the green-light to do more streaming and a few other things that are beneficial for the future of the stream. Additionally, I ran a Wednesday edition of the stream at 2pm ET today… a shift from my normal time of 10am ET. Viewership was up significantly at both Twitch and Mixer, leading me to want to run an afternoon stream at least once a week.

Pull Requests, Updates, and an ASP.NET Core Project
The live stream today had a slightly different start, as I played with the new chroma key setup that I have, and appeared with a beach backdrop. Following some brief updates about the stream and talking about some new hardware, we reviewed some pull-requests from viewers Ian, Bruno, and Giancarlo. Thanks guys!
Stream Updates and Refactoring a Visual Studio Extension
Today was a good stream, and I felt very productive during it. We refactored the OptionsPage in the EpicBuildMusic project to allow it to be unit tested, and I even gave the folders, fixtures, and tests names so they made sense. A replay of today’s stream is below:
A Pre-Release of the EpicBuildMusic extension for Visual Studio
On today’s stream, we fixed the outstanding issues in the EpicBuildMusic extension, and I think we’re ready with a first pre-release! The full video of the code changes and discussion with the streams are below:
Adding an Options Dialog to a Visual Studio Extension
Today on the stream, I started using both Twitch and Mixer to present my live coding adventures. My team requested I try Mixer, and it was a cool experience. I’m using restream.io to help broadcast to both services and they have a cool integrated chat room that I am now embedding in the video.
The integrated chat feels a little strange, because folks in one chat room can’t see the comments in the other chat room except in the video I am transmitting. Anyways, here is today’s video, saved on YouTube:
