Mark Dunn on ADO.NET 2.0 and BizTalk 2004
As the original co-host of .NET Rocks!, mark didn't say all that much. Well, look out! He's talking about his current passions, ADO.NET 2.0 and BizTalk 2004, and we can't shut him up! This is a great conversation with a true ADO.NET expert. Mark has a knack for explaining complex ideas in a very natural and easy manner. If you still don't get BizTalk, this is the show to listen to. Mark explains why BizTalk is great from a very practical perspective, and explains why he is on a crusade to get developers as excited about BizTalk as IT managers are.

Juval talks about serialization now and in 2.0, the new System.Transaction namespace and how cool it really is, putting System.EnterpriseServices in perspective, some quick lip service to generics (although he discussed that in show #34), and a little criticism of the new Visual Studio 2005.
