Back from Basta!/SQLCon05
It was great. The sleepy town of Mainz in Germany, then 600 .NET and SQL Server geeks arrive.
My 2 sessions went well, and had great fun presenting them. I did not get much time to see the others, pity.
I did see Ingo Rammer's “Migrating .NET to Indigo”. Awesome.
Then there was Meinrad Weiss' “SQL Server 2005 Business Intelligence”. He had the audience in awe by showing the new features in SQL Server 2005 and a great product called DeltaMiner. Jaws dropped when this BI tool from Bissantz & Company was shown. I have never seen such a simple UI and the graphic rednering technology to look at data was just best of the best.
All in all, a good conference.
