Mike Taulty has been doing short screen casts about LINQ to SQL. I love his approach as I know from experience how difficult it is to try to give a decent presentation of LINQ to SQL in a single 90 minute session when you have to start from scratch.
There are 9 so far and more coming. Here is a link to the latest (that includes links to the first 8 as well). Stay tuned for more.
From the ADO.NET Team blog:
Late last week, after bits had been finalized, we found a bug in the ADO.NET Entity Data Model Wizard that shipped with Visual Studio “Orcas” beta 1. The problem has now been corrected.
Please download and install the patch available at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=f69e9eb8-0ebd-4fba-a4cc-2050297ba75b&displaylang=en to fix the problem.
Panel on Open Source in the Microsoft Community at DevTeach
This year the bonus session (Wednesday May 16 at 18:00) will be a panel of speakers debating the Open Source in the Microsoft Community. This panel discussion takes a look at open source in the Microsoft community from technical, cultural, and business perspectives in a frank discussion with recognizable contributors to and users of open source software for Microsoft platforms. Panelists are: Alan Griver, Oren Eini, Jeremy Miller, Roy Osherove and François Beauregard.
The best part is that Ted Neward will be moderating the panel. There is nothing moderate about Ted Neward though. He will fan the flames for sure. This will be fun.

Very cool demos.
It took me a while to figure out how to get the WPF/E project template into Visual Studio 2005. Read more…
