Currently working with web clusters, non-sticky IPs, where you need a unified key for ViewState encryption and thought I would share these resources...
Oh this ROCKS!

(from Rob Caron)
Rob recently blogged about some recent news regarding Visual Studio 2005, VSTS Team Foundation Server, SQLServer 2005.
- eWeek - "Micrososft Readies Release Candidate, RTM of VS 2005"
- InfoWorld - "MSDN Users to get early access to Visual Studio 2005 Tools"
- Microsoft Watch - "Beta 3 of Team Foundation Server on the Way"
- CNet News.com (I'm shocked - actually a positive message about Microsoft from news.com- what a change ;) ) - "Microsoft plans to hit tools, database deadline."
The CNet article states that Microsoft will hand out copies of VS 2005 RC1 & a new SQLServer 2005 CTP to those attending the recently sold-out PDC!
Please visit Rob's blog post for these links (because I'm not a fan of people who lift blog content into their own posts without credit...)

I have been a huge fan of Brian Randell, VB MVP & Senior Consultant with MCW Technologies, since I first saw him at TechEd '99, I believe. Besides being a Metallica fan ;), he has a very good presentation style, seems to really enjoy doing talks, and is a very nice guy when you meet him offstage. Well, Brian Randell is coming to Dallas for the "Methods & Masters" VB Upgrade Tour.
 | What can you learn about Visual Basic 2005 in three hours? How about how to create rich client applications that understand when their connected to the network and when they’re not? How about deploying these "smart clients" with a single click of your mouse? How about custom UI designs and custom controls that required tons of Win32 API calls and hand written code with VB6 that can now be done with just a few lines of code and no Win32 API calls? How about data binding you’d be proud to use in your own applications instead of writing it yourself? How about building solutions today that can integrate across your enterprise or across your home network with powerful and flexible networking classes? How about learning how you can leverage your existing development skills to build great browser-based web applications without having to write raw HTML? How about learning how you can protect your investment in VB6 while moving forward?
Come spend an evening with Brian A. Randell, a senior consultant with MCW Technologies and a Visual Basic MVP. Brian’s been using Visual Basic since version 2.0 and has spent the last 18 years building solutions and helping developers learn how to do it themselves. Brian will show you how much fun and productive development is with Visual Basic 2005 is and give you the straight answers on how you can move up from Visual Basic 6.0.
