How you can get PDC material without going to the PDC...
One of the things we are planning on doing from the ASP.NET + Visual Studio Web Development side it to post all of our PDC talks+demo code, along with our Hands On Labs, and two Whidbey whitepapers on the http://www.asp.net website.
This will enable people who can't make the PDC to still get a pretty in-depth taste of Whidbey (not as good as attending the talks themselves -- but still pretty deep). The exact url of the content is still TBD (we won't launch it until the week of the PDC) -- but I'll post it here so that folks will be able to easily find it.
