On Tuesday evening, I had the pleasure of giving a 30-minute presentation on SQL Server 2005 Query Notifications at the September Central Maryland Association of .NET Professionals main meeting. It's a topic that I find thoroughly enjoyable, and I wish I'd had a full hour to dedicate to the topic. Thanks to all attendees for be interactive and asking several excellent "how, why, and when?" questions. I'll post my slide deck, demos and resource links in another blog post shortly.
After I'd over-run my allotted time, CMAP co-founder Anil John gave an excellent presentation on “SOA, Interoperability and Web Services”. Anil is obviously well-versed in the subject matter, and his presentation skills flatly blow mine out of the water.
