SQL Team (and Microsoft) goes to Borcon again
Its that time of year, sunny San Jose beckons for Borcon. Donald Farmer and I are off in a couple of weeks time to Borlands annual conference. There are a host of softies going including BradA, don't worry Brad you'll have a blast, but not as much as we had at the Ice Cream and Cake party that SQL Server sponsored last year, though :-)
Borcon is a great opportunity for those of us in Redmond to get out and about and see a group of folks that likely are not at TechEd or the other usual conference hangouts. For me personally its my annual reminder of how to write pascal as well as chance to meet up with some long time friends such as Lino and Tex from Falafel, Brian, who is also now at Falafel and Ray.
I am going to cover the new features in ADO.Net as well as the programability features of SQL Server such as SQLCLR, XML, Http Endpoints, Broker and a host of others, Donald is going to cover DTS and Reporting Services including the new controls in SQL2005.
Come along and see if we can still remember how to write code :-)
