While Hanselman is a German name, most of Scott's family are Lawson's and Cormacks hailing from Carnoustie and Orkney.
Scott Hanselman is coming to visit Scotland the week of July 7th. In fact, he's bringing his father along and tracing their ancestry and visiting cousins and great-grand-people while in-country. Scott will also be stopping by Dundee, Carnoustie, Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow as he and his dad make their way across the country, likely on the wrong side of the road while mispelling tyre.
Join Scott in the evenings at these free events as he talks about Personal Productivity, the Mobile Web, ASP.NET, Microsoft, Open Source, The Cloud and much more.
Even better, it's free. Has Scott ever made you pay for anything? You may tip him in Super Hero Action Figures or HeroClix toys. ;)
Rather than doing the same talk in every city Scott will alternate between two talks in case you want to come by an event in your city and your neighboring city. Sign up and RSVP at Eventbrite now!
Mobile traffic on the web is exploding. Are you ready? ASP.NET MVC 4 includes new mobile-friendly templates, a focus on responsive design as well as dedicated mobile templates that leverage jQuery and jQuery mobile. Scott Hanselman will show you what you can do today and tomorrow to make your site friendly on a mobile device. When should your mobile site become a mobile application? Should you use CSS3 media queries, or go "all in" and use jQuery mobile or another mobile framework?
As information workers, we are asked to absorb even more information than ever before. More blogs, more documentation, more patterns, more layers of abstraction. Now Twitter and Facebook compete with Email and Texts for our attention, keeping us up-to-date on our friends dietary details and movie attendance second-by-second. Does all this information take a toll on your psyche or sharpen the saw? Is it a matter of finding the right tools and filters to capture what you need, or do you just need to unplug. Is ZEB (zero email bounce) a myth or are there substantive techniques for prioritizing your life on the web? Join Scott Hanselman as we explore how you can be truly productive.
It's an exciting time for ASP.NET and Open Source. What does the next version of Visual Studio and ASP.NET bring to the world of web development? How will you use HTML5, CSS3 and new advances in JavaScript with ASP.NET? There's new advances in ASP.NET with the addition of realtime (Signalr), new features in WebForms as well as support for mobile. How will it all snap together in a way that makes sense? Join Scott Hanselman as he shares some internal documents and exciting surprises about the future of ASP.NET. What about Azure? We'll talk about the world's most misunderstood cloud and it means for developers of all flavors and persuasions.

Scott does a remarkable job at breaking down complex issues and making them seem "well duh!" simple. Scott knows his subject material, providing enough technical information to be useful in leading his audience to follow up with their own research. Quite simply one of the best technology presenters I've seen.
