…With a boulder on my shoulder feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground…

-Bruce Springsteen

This quarter we're back on the road bringing some great technology & tools for building software that takes things to a whole new level. From the data integration capabilities of LINQ to working with the cross-browser presentation experience, you'll find we've got some fun stuff happening at MSDN Events. I will be on the road starting in Madison, then touring the upper Midwest to visit cities like St. Louis, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Des Moines, Green Bay and more to show what's possible with these new tools.

As part of these events I like to post links to resources on the topics we're talking about. The links for this quarter include:
