No Beta Yet
Commenting a previous post, Andy pointed out a questionable expression I use in my latest article for the ASP.NET DevCenter.
Speaking of ASP.NET Whidbey I state that a beta is available NOW. This is false. Period. A beta is due out in the next few weeks, presumably in July. My hope is that MS delivers it to eagerly waiting devs at TechED Europe. As of today, the latest available build I'm aware of is the Community Tech Preview May 04.
Why did I use the word beta in the article? Because I assumed that the article wouldn't go online for quite some time until July. When the beta should be available.
However, I think the delta between CTPs and the official Beta 1 is pretty slim. My estimation is for a 5% of changes. Plus documentation and a bit of speed.
