TechEd GrokTalks have begun filming
Two weeks ago I first mentioned the GrokTalks that the Microsoft RDs were planning for TechEd US 2005 - albeit in a shroud of secrecy. Scott Hanselman gave the first detailed description of these GrokTalks. The short version is that they are unique 10-minute presentations that convey the essence of a variety of topics. I had mine filmed at the end of the day on Tuesday - it was fun. At the end of conference, once we have had time to do the required editing, there will be over 40 of these presentations available for viewing - be sure to check them out at www.GrokTalk.net

Enhanced and updated documentation on ReportViewer Controls in VS 2005
One of the new features that has first appeared in Beta 2 of VS 2005 are the ReportViewer controls and associated Report Designer. This is basically a version of the SQL 2005 Reporting Services engine that can be rendered totally on the client (that means no SQL Server installation/license required for generating and viewing the reports). It can also display and print reports that are generated remotely by an installation of SQL 2005 Reporting Services. There are controls for both WinForms and WebForms. Very Cool

Do you want the opportunity to work with Brad McCabe ? Brad is a MSDN Content Strategist, responsible for the VB and Data Access Dev Centers (and probably some others). He is part of the team responsible for much of the content on MSDN. If you like writing and explaining technology the position of a Content Strategist seems like a very cool one to me. Here is a post describing the available positions. (via Brad's Blog)
