Tech Ed NZ 2005 Day 2

Developer content this year seems a bit thin. I think part of the reason is that most of what we're hearing about has been delayed for so long that for anyone who's been tracking it closely there isn't much to add at this stage, and Tech Ed NZ comes so long after the US version that by now all the cats are long out of the bag.
The labs are good though.
I attended a session this afternoon on Web Service enhancements in .NET 2 ...really just incremental improvements, but that's fair enough . I am however looking forward to Indigo I mean the WCF and the DataContract: then we'll finally have civilised support for loose coupling and Contract First web service development.
I also got some good info on the navigation controls in ASP.NET 2 - the bit I hadn't been aware of was how well the SiteMap integrates with ASP.NET security and roles.
