I was invited to the Visual Studio "Orcas" and .NET Framework 3.5 Training Workshop at Microsoft next week (June 25th through June 28th). I'm pretty excited about going, it looks like a high level overview of all the major new features of VS 2008 and .Net 3.5.
I included the agenda for the workshop below (hopefully that's ok with MS, it doesn't say anywhere that I can't share it). I'm most looking forward to .NET Language Integrated Query (LINQ), What’s new in Visual Basic 9.0?, Introduction to Silverlight, Integrating Office & line of business systems using VSTO, and the Company Store Visit, though all the sessions look interesting other than maybe the one on C++ (I am beginning to think I will never program in that language again).
