PDC2008 Quick Video Link List (Updated: Now with Keynotes)

Last List Update: 11/8/2008 @ 2:20 PM PST (Catalog/List now based on Channel9 RSS feed, which resulted in 9 new entries, including the Keynotes! ;)

Past Update: 11/1/2008 @ 11:25 AM PDT (Fixed MP4, ZIP link issues and now with links, on titles, to the very cool Channel 9 PDC2008 pages)

Because I’m lazy (err… I mean… um… efficient with my time? Yeah… that) I wanted an easier way to get at all the videos for PDC2008. So being a developer, I reverse engineered the PDC video page and hacked together a quick and dirty list of Session and related video/pptx links. ;)

Please note that some of these links may not yet work, may never work, may be changed by Microsoft at any time, YMMV, etc, etc, etc. If it doesn’t work, please try accessing the session via the “one true source.”

Quick Video List, sort by Title (as of 11/8/2008 @ 2:20 PM PST)

It seems that many of the other links (MP4, Zune, Zip, etc) are not yet live, so I’ve not included them (yet). one thing I might add is to ping each URL to see if it returns a 404 or not.. but that’s for later.

Here’s the code I used (see I told you it was quick and dirty… yes, I know I need to learn to use Linq better…). The majority of the magic is done through my fav HTML parsing tool the HTML Agility Pack.

Update #1 10/31/2008 @8:00AM PDT:

Link verification added to the code and the list updated. So now only those links that do not return a 404 are active.

Here’s the updated code:

 Private Function GetVideoLink(ByVal URLPrefix As String, ByVal code As String, ByVal extension As String, ByVal name As String) As String
    Dim sb = New System.Text.StringBuilder
    Dim url = URLPrefix & code & "." & extension
    sb.Append("<td>")

    If PageExists(url) Then
      sb.Append("<a href=")
      sb.Append(Chr(34))
      sb.Append(url)
      sb.Append(Chr(34))
      sb.Append(">")
      sb.Append(name)
      sb.Append("</a>")

    Else
      sb.Append("N/A")
    End If
    sb.Append("</td>")

    Return sb.ToString


  End Function

  Private Function PageExists(ByVal URL As String) As Boolean
    'Code leached and converted from http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/dorr/archive/2008/09/02/how-to-check-if-a-file-exists-over-http.aspx
    Try
      Dim request = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(URL)
      request.Method = "HEAD" ' Just get the document headers, not the data. 
      request.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

      'This may throw a WebException: 
      Using response As System.Net.HttpWebResponse = CType(request.GetResponse(), System.Net.HttpWebResponse)

        If response.StatusCode = System.Net.HttpStatusCode.OK Then
          Return True
        Else
          Return False
        End If

      End Using

    Catch ex As System.Net.WebException
      Dim webResponse As System.Net.HttpWebResponse = CType(ex.Response, System.Net.HttpWebResponse)

      '// Determine the cause of the exception, was it 404? 
      If webResponse.StatusCode = System.Net.HttpStatusCode.NotFound Then
        Return False

      End If

    End Try

  End Function

Update #2 11/1/2008 @10:50AM PDT:

Fixed an casing issue for MP4’s (Should have been “…d1/pdc08/MP4/” and not “…d1/pdc08/mp4/”)

Fixed an casing issue for ZIP’s (The file extension should have been ".ZIP” and not “.zip”)

Added links on the titles to the very cool Channel 9 PDC2008 page for the given session.

Update #3 11/2/2008 @9:00AM PST:

The source has been uploaded to a new CodePlex project, PDC Resource List Maker.

Please use it responsibly…

Update #4 11/8/2008 @9:00AM PST:

Updated to use the Channel9 RSS Feed, which resulted in 9 additional rows, including the Keynotes.

Oh thank you! These have been a pain to download individually.

Do you have a link to download the source code and project?

Thanks.

Not yet... I'm still playing with it a little. Will probably post it to CodePlex in a bit...

Great!!, this would be even better if your title was used as description so DownThemAll would pick it up, using ALT text I guess.

Thanks for this - extremely useful. Any plans on adding keynote download too?

I kind of doubt it (to adding the keynotes).

They are not listed in the catalog URL that I found so I'd have to find another catalog or add them manually and since there are now some really good sites with lists, like http://Channel9.msdn.com/pdc2008, it seems there's be little to be gained from it...

So probably not... but you never know... ;)

I have made the GetRight download file for others to download all of the sessions! Check it out @ http://blogs.techconception.com/manny/2008/11/06/DownloadPDC2008SessionsUsingGetRight.aspx

Greg,

A nice use of these links would be to whip up separate RSS feeds for all of these presentations based upon file type. Then folks could pull them down into the player of choice using a podcast client like Juice, nimiq, HappyFish, etc.
