Back on the Road Again
I have just come back from Los Angeles and the PDC and is now about to fly back to the west coast of US. On Tuesday I'm off to Seattle to speak at the
SQL Server PASS Conference there. I am delivering two talks; one about ADO.NET and Transactions. I cover the various transaction models; local, distributed through COM+, distributed through Services Without Components and distributed through manual enlistment. This last model - manual enlistment - is new for ADO.NET in the 1.1 framework.
In my second talk I cover for Bob Beauchemin, who had to go to Shanghai and teach Yukon. I deliver his talk about how SQL Server uses OLE DB for management of external data.
I give my talks on Thursday, and on Friday I fly directly to Korea to teach our Yukon class for Microsoft ISV's there. Man, will I be jetlagged or what; coming in from London to Seattle - 8 hours, Seattle to Seoul +16 hours, I will be totally confused (you may ask "what's new" in that 
).
Speaking of Yukon and classes here is a shameless plug for DM's Yukon class. We are now allowed to deliver it to anyone interested, until now it has been Microsoft internal and ISV's only. The first open enrolment class is in Boston, December 1.
