More XML goodies: XQuery!
Roger Jennings just had his SQL Server 2005 XQuery article posted at http://www.ftponline.com/vsm/2005_06/magazine/features/rjennings/.
Great article if you want to learn more about XML support in SQL Server 2005.
One another note, if you haven't watched Shankar's smart client and SQL Server 2005 XML webcast, check it out at http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?EventID=1032271489&Culture=en-US
I got the privilege of a personal demo of what Shankar showed in the webcast in his office. Just a little jab at my buddy Shankar but we need to get him some better UI for his demos :) Of course, it's not all about sizzle with Shankar but the nuts and bolts of evangelizing the work the the XML team in SQL Server is doing. I'll add the sizzle for him.
Final thing, if you haven't seen the information of the SQL Server 2005 roadshow, you're missing out. Bill Baker, myself, Euan Garden and a bunch of folks are heading on the road to get folks excited about and teach SQL Server 2005. You'll also get drill-down sessions on BI, Developer and DBA topics. It's your own personal mini-SQL 2005 conference! Check it out at http://www.windowsitpro.com/roadshows/sqlserverusa/index.cfm?code=featuredlink
I'll be at the Anaheim one April 26th plus I'm doing the .NET User Group in LA on the 27th. Stop by and say hi if you're in the area there. Lattes (or Jamba Juice for the healthy folks) are on me.
