Rob Zelt - Thoughts of Mine - PDC Session List Web Service

To me, it seems really strange that I'm not somehow able to get a data friendly version of the Microsoft PDC sessions and their appropriate info. What better way to attract a bunch of developers than to give them a webservice with the details!!! It's just one of those things that would be really handy. Well folks, it's not official, it's the best list I could compile and I hope it's accurate (Don't blame me if you miss a session at this point because you think it's gospel! Use at your own risk, Bill and Steve own the rights, not me! ...(Did I miss anything?))

PDC Session List Web Service

PDCSessionList returns a dataset that looks something like this. After some sleep I'll do some fine tuning and post some better details!
