Along with Scott Golightly and Pat Wright, I had the opportunity today to particpate in a SQL Server 2005 all-day training at our local Microsoft offices.  The day was broken into three parts: Pat covered SQL Server Management, Scott discussed Business Intelligence, and I tackled Development.

While I can't speak for the others (as I was not able to attend their presentations unfortunately), my presentation went very well - I even threw in some off-the-cuff demonstrations (as I am want to do) of returning tabular information from a .NET stored procedure :)  We covered a variety of topics, most notably the SQLCLR, TSQL enhancements, and ADO.NET 2.0 along with a smattering of data encryption.  All in all I'm fairly happy, though I can always look back and nitpick some things that I should have done better.

I had a great time and I believe those in attendance did as well.  I look forward to the next one.
