If you're interested in the newly released Visual Studio and SQL Server versions, and near Belfast this coming Monday, I'm doing a community launch for vs.net 2005/sql 2005 on Monday 7th November for Nimtug . I'll be doing a SQL 2005 talk, focusing on the enhanced Business Intelligence capabilities in the new version (focusing mainly on SSIS and Reporting Services), and Rob Burke from Microsoft Ireland, will be my partner in crime, showing off Visual Studio Team System.
Both talks are deep dives (i.e. useful info and lots of demos -not all marketing and sales speel) , and normally run at 2+ hours each, so we'll be trying to crop them a little, but still pack as much useful stuff in as possible. If you're interested, or just merely want to watch two grown men panic as they realise they're running out of time, and still have 50 slides to go, head on over to the Nimtug site and sign up.
