April 2005


Kim Tripp is back and more intense than ever. After talking about her famous USB Key demonstration of SQL 2005 partitioning, she gets into details of SQL 2005 that would make even the SQL team go “hey, that’s cool!” This is one of those shows that you’ll have to listen to several times to completely grasp. We know we will!

Matt Mannion from Clarity Consulting talks about the application his company developed with and for the Indy Racing League in Indianappolis, IN. Using Visual Studio .NET 2003 and VB.NET they were able to develop a great application for managing real-time racing data and reporting. Fascinating story.

Grant BlahaErath and Glenn Podany talk about the MS Platform Adoption Center: what it is and what it’s used for. Sometimes called the Customer Lab, the PAC has generated some great case studies with major companies implementing Microsoft technologies. Great stories and geeking out on this show!

Scott Hanselman returns to DNR for the first time in several months. In this otherwise ASP.NET-centric show, Rory shows off his hands-free flush abilities and Scott rants about Cascading Style Sheets. A great show with more nutritional value than you might expect. Welcome back to the show, Rory!
