Ich bin morgen Abend (20. November 2006) bei der .NET Developers Group München und spreche über Web 2.0. In meinem Vortrag möchte ich verschiedene Frameworks (Yahoo! UI, Dojo, AjaxPro, Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX) kurz vorstellen, und auch Funktionen zeigen, die viele bis jetzt wohl noch nicht...

I have only just started using Linux again and Ubuntu just keeps amazing me in terms of ease of use for users coming from the windows world but also (in true Linux style...

Miguel has a post on updates to the C# 3.0 compiler in Mono . Great to see support for Lambda Expressions and Implicit Typed Parameters being added. The Olive project will add more features such as Linq, more details on that can be found in another of Miguels posts .
