I am writing this blog entry from the Venetian hotel breakfast hall in Las Vegas where I've come to attend the MIX09 conference.
"What’s a fella that is into SQL Server and data stuff doing at a web developer conference?” I hear you ask. Well, its a fair question. Chiefly I’m here because I’m interested in things like Live Services, Windows Azure and the Azure Services platform, all of which are (in my opinion) wholly data-related and all of which are going to be covered in great depth here. The main session that I’m looking forward to is “What’s new in Microsoft SQL Data Services” which is happening on Friday morning – that should my first look at the new stuff they’re bringing out later this year.
Look out for more blogging here through the week where I may well be talking about interesting stuff that pops up. For more immediate reactions I’ll probably be twittering too at http://twitter.com/jamiet
