But I&#8217;d like to be impressed, nonetheless<\/li>\n<li>TLA335: Conquering XML with Visual Basic 9.0 by Lisa Feigenbaum &#8211; Say goodbye to XSLT and hello to VB 9 is the tagline. Interesting (VB is now at 9&#8230;)<\/li>\n<li>The entire Office &amp; SharePoint Track &#8211; obvious reasons, I like office software, and SharePoint I must say, is most interesting (though Khairil will tell me Plone does it all too)<\/li>\n<li>SBP322 &#8211; Messaging, Identity, and Workflow in the Cloud by Nigel Watling &#8211; It has the magic word &#8220;cloud&#8221; in the title, I must take a gander&#8230; esp. with Microsoft Live! and their APIs that they&#8217;ll announce soon enough<\/li>\n<li>WUX332 &#8211; How to Build an App like Twitter? by Dirk Primbs &#8211; Interesting, because I kind of know Twitter goodness, and have a real interest in messaging platforms. No specification of language, et al, but I am certain it&#8217;d be interesting.<\/li>\n<li>Most of the Windows Server Infrastructure Track, with regards to virtualization, SVR425 &#8211; SMB v2.0 in Action by Ralf Schnell (where he even mentions Linux in his abstract), et al<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can ensure I&#8217;ll write interesting blog entries (maybe with video interviews) from what I learn.
