I'm in Perth as a result of
GITA inviting me to speak at their
Seminar and Workshops. I presented on
MapPoint Web Services and showed a sneak peek of
SQL Server 2008's
Spatial capabilities (here's another
white paper).
My slides are available
here.
The demo app I showed is
here. (Don't forget about the bug I first described
here, and I've also got a detailed
walk-through document showing how to build a simpler app)
If you want a copy of SQL Server 2008 CTP5, you need to go here.
