Kind of time wasted this afternoon with a Microsoft presentation of Visual Studio 2005 and SQL 2005.

I don't know if it was the bad weather, but everything goes wrong there. The public was 99% developers, and it was absolutely boring !

I even don't remember the names of the two presenters. They are surely competent and nice guys, but their speeches and demos were absolutely unprepared, and the all stuff let me unhappy.

It was dreadful to see them trying to follow a series of demo apparently done by somebody in US, and just doing some click there and there with some lame comments like 'OK, you see the result. fine next demo'.

Thankfully I learn more from the blogs I read than there.

OK I stop here ! Anyway the good news was the VS 2005 latest preview and the book Write secure code given at the end of the too long afternoon :-)
