Jump in with Business Connectivity Services (formerly named the Business Data Catalog) with SharePoint 2010.  In this session we will start out with an overview of BCS, wade out into the end user and power user spaces of BCS, then take a quick peek at what is possible in the deep end with the object model (and some developers).  We’ll be focused on business scenarios and demonstrate connectivity to multiple LOB systems and how to surface data in a variety of user interfaces, both web and thick client.

NOTE: We'll be meeting in the first floor conference room of the building, NOT Microsoft's offices as usual.
