Day 4 (Thursday): DevConnections Las Vegas, 9:45 AM

Day 3 was another whopper of a day. Thirteen simultaneous tracks of cutting edge content from some of the best developer/admin/speakers in the world. Besides the two sessions I presented on Data Controls and SQL Server Reporting Services, I sat in on several other talks, including Dan Wahlin's excellent talk on moving from Web Services to SOA and Harold Chataway's talk on DotNetNuke and Robert Green's session on everything you need to know about working with XML in .NET 2.0. I love how Robert boils down potentially complex concepts into easily understood examples. Speaking of making things simple, I am currently blogging while attending Billy Hollis' fabulous session on Generics in VB .NET 2.0 (just about everything he's saying, however, applies equally to C# 2.0 as well).

Notable Vegas DevConnections blog posts:
