My friend and yours, Shawn Wildermuth, perhaps better known as the ADOGuy is the Editor for O'Reilly's new .NET community site OnDotNet. He's announced his appointment at as Content Editor and I expect great things from him.  I recently chatted with him on my personal life-line, MSN Messenger, and I don't know who's more stoked, him or me.  It's good to have another .NET site producing SOLID and USEFUL content.

It's also worth mentioning Shawn's book, Pragmatic ADO.NET which gets points for its title.  I much prefer it to Practical or Professional or Problematic ADO.NET.  Chapter 6 is up and free for the online reader, just don't reproduce it!
