What do YOU want from a Whidbey book?
I've written a number of ASP and ASP.NET books over the last 5 years, and one of the challenges, particularly with .NET and ASP.NET, is deciding what gets covered, and what doesn't. With ASP.NET Whidbey, this challenge gets even harder, because of all of the new features that have been added. So I'd like to get some feedback on what the community thinks should be covered in a book on ASP.NET Whidbey. Would you like to see:
- A smaller book that covers just new new features in Whidbey, with the features of 1.0 and/or 1.1 being covered by existing books remaining in print longer.
- A smaller book that covers just new new features in Whidbey, with the features of 1.0 and/or 1.1 being covered by supplemental materials on CD-Rom and/or online.
- A large book that covers all of the features, both those that exist in the current frameworks, as well as those in the new version, keeping in mind that such a book would likely cost more, due to the additional costs of publishing a larger book.
- Something else?

User Group Reminder
Just a quick reminder to those in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area (the rest of you can go about your business) that I'll be speaking at tomorrow night's Fort Worth .NET User Group meeting, about what's new in the upcoming version of ASP.NET, codename Whidbey. There are a lot of neat new features to talk about, so I hope to see lots of folks there. Meeting time is 6pm.

Can't wait for Whidbey, but even today, ASP.NET rocks!
I'm currently working on a new article for the MSDN ASP.NET Developer Center on building a registration and login server control for ASP.NET v1.1. Sure, Whidbey will have controls to do this baked right into the framework, but for now, the control I'm showing how to build will provide some of the same functionality, and you can use it right away.
