As I look at my session at TechED SEA 2006, one of the things that hits me is the lack of context of the various sessions for people. The TechED agenda has a series of sessions and its upto the attendees to create a story board so that they can go from one session to the other and make the most of it. Of course, we provide the abstracts so that people can really understand what the session is going to talk about. But does that really help. Maybe what we need to do is create a storyboard. Something like this :- If you are developing large scale ASP.NET solutions, you might want to attend the following sessions i. Introduction to .net 2.0 - Monday 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM ii. Introduction to .net 3.0 - Monday 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM a. What's new in ASP.NET 2.0 - Monday 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM b. Making ASP.NET productive with "Atlas" - Monday 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM c.

I'll know how good the rating were tomorrow - or if the only people who liked it were the few who talked to me later!!! :-)

I'm a SQL guy - so the SQL session is understandable. XPS!!! Well XPS is another data storage format. There are some very nice things about teh format. To begin with it zips all the content into a single file. More important is its concepts of parts and relationships. It allows any file to be broken into multiple pieces and be assembled together. This enables endless possibilities - A video broken into multiple parts and associated with text and images A complex document like a medical record with XRays, notes, prescriptions all integrated into a single document An issues tracking note with the entire history built into the same file. A PO with internal notes built into the doc. With Office 2007 based on the new document formats and XPS adding support for document security and ...
