ASP.NET Whidbey
Thanks to Scott Watermasyk for a post with a link to fresh information from the Microsoft PDC on the coming ASP.NET "Whidbey" changes. This is one of many hot items currently being presented at the Microsoft Professional Developer's Conference (PDC). Most, if not all of the PDC ASP.NET Whidbey slide sets and demos are available at "Whidbey" PDC Presentations. Many of the session slide sets and code samples are now linked into the Sessions List.

[Languages] You Are Not Lispless!
While we are Lisping, lispen close. You, too, can speak (code) with a Lisp! If you have Visual Studio.NET, or the .NET Framework SDK, but have not yet fully indulged your curiosity, you may not know that you already have a Lisp compiler that compiles to MSIL. Check out the CLisp Sample project in your “Tool Developers Guide” directory. You will find it located at your equivalent of
