I for one had a great time yesterday at the launch. Bernard Wong invited Tim Huckaby and myself to help out presenting smart client and ASP.NET, respectively, while he demonstrated code from the Visual Studio 2005 launch event.

For all of you who attended, I offered some content that you might find relevant to ASP.NET and ClickOnce. All of my content references are in my most recent blog entries from DevConnections (see below) but the most relevant are these two:

• ASP.NET - http://www.dasblonde.net/#ab95d2c9b-05c9-4fde-8a47-d77526b457b4
• Smart Client - http://www.dasblonde.net/#aa0a9bfcc-b878-4a68-a50b-30b713c5e7a0

I also wanted to make sure you all know about the .NET course curriculum at UCSD Extension. You can get links to all the courses from our new community blog here: www.ucsdxcommunity.com We'll post special advanced classes here, and also link you to our new course blogs (this is new, not a lot of content yet). I am the advisor to the program (since 1993!) so if you have any special requests, ask away!

At IDesign we do architecture consulting, but we also do training. I teach the official IDesign Master Class at UCSD 2x per year (www.ucsdxcommunity.com/masterclass) and also do on site training, someone asked about this as well. See www.idesign.net for more information about those courses.
