BizTalk 2004 for the Visual Basic and C# Developer (EBZ214)
Great session! Scott Woodgate is a guarantee! It was a 200 level session, so not so deep in BizTalk architecture and programmability, but really a good session!
Aside from the "standard" contents of a session like this, Scott showed us a wizard, fully integrated with VS.NET, to create BizTalk Adapters that he's working on. He told us that it will be available in a few days, probably next week, on his blog. Good job Scott! Thanks! -
Web Services, XML Serialization and Networking in .NET 2.0 (CTS2001)
I've just attended this session. Not so exciting, probably because I was already aware of many of the contents.

Offline Application Block: persistent MSMQQueueStorageProvider
Microsoft Smart Client Offline Application Block makes possible to build applications that are network aware and that are able to work online or offline. When offline you can enqueue messages for central services using many different kind of QueueStorageProvider. One of the pre-built QueueStorageProvider is MSMQQueueStorageProvider that, as you can argue from its name, is a queue provider based on MSMQ. It works with a private queue not transactional by default. Sometimes it happens that you would like to make your messages persistent in order to keep trace of them in case of your Smart Client host shutdown, reboot, crash, etc.
