Tim Huckaby on Smart Clients
Tim Huckaby stops by to talk about his mission of preaching the SmartClient gospel. Tim is always full of fun, great stories, and common sense. Nickolas Landry surprises us by calling in and heckling Tim.

Benjamin Mitchell and John Bristowe on SOA and Web Services
This week we had a very informative discussion about messaging with Benjamin Mitchell and John Bristowe. Benjamin and John cut through the WS-AlphabetSoup set of specifications, avoid frequent references to SOA and cover what the benefits of web services are, why you might want to use WSE (security, policy, addressing and support for TCP), how to use web services in your applications today and where Microsoft is heading with web services and Indigo in future. Michele Leroux Bustamante joined us unexpectedly in the second half, and she even told a great joke!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations

We walked around on the show floor and talked to some of our former and future guests about TechEd, what's new, and what they're interested in.We recorded most of this show on video, and as such will be airing ".NET Rocks! The Movie" as soon as we possibly can. Until then, enjoy some of the more interesting sonic tidbits of the film.In the first half we spoke to Tim Huckaby, Keith Nicholson, Billy Hollis, Don Kiely, Stephen Forte, Don Box, and Jon Lam.In the second half, we spent about 40 minutes in an INETA Birds Of a Feather (BOF) Session that we recorded Sunday night, in which Bob Reselman showed up and got things juiced up. There is also a lot of obvious interest in the Visual Studio Team System, which was announced at TechEd. We spoke with Paul Sheriff, Brian Noyes, and Chris Kinsman about their impressions of the Team System, and then we caught up with some Microsft team members to talk about it.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations
