First post objective

I'm glad to be part of this great community and have the opportunity to blog with the best in the business. Since .NET has been introducing a lot of new features, it can be cumbersome to keep up with the latest changes. My goal herein my posts is about learning ASP.NET (cause I don't sincerely know it all) which includes topics relevant to problem solving, implementing features and/or give opinions about issues within the technology. I'll post as much as I can, and I hope to be an active participant in this community for years to come.

Lately I have been working with the new Visual Studio 2008 and although there were times when it was slow (mainly switching from code to design view), I'm happy with the upgrade for its improved functionality within coding. I'll be constantly working with the .NET 3.5 framework and hopefully get up to speed with the new things that are included in the package. I'm currently reading the Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham but once I'm done with it, a new .NET 3.5 development book is in line for sure.
