Even wanted to watch an msdn webcast but just don't have the time or inclination to sit and watch it for an 30-60 mins?

MSDN have put up a page of "nuggets" that are only 10-15 mins long and cover a single topic such as "Writing stored procedures in .NET managed code" or "Working online/offline with the Offline Block"
