ASP.NET 4.0 ??
As Bertrand Le Roy has mentioned here. ASP.Net Ajax vNext being a part of ASP.Net 4.0.
Damn! I have just started looking at ASP.Net 3.5/Silverlight stuff a few days back. :) I thought I can catch up always but things are going just too fast at Microsoft. How much to learn and so little time! Isn't it?

And when you realize that MS is actually moving slower, in some areas, than the rest of the industry you get really dizzy. I actually agree with the article. If MS wouldn't try to protect you from JS, most ASP.NET developers would've known JS well by now and MS would not have had to spend time coming up with yet another leaky abstraction that only alleviates the pain without curing the cause.

At our company we're still using asp.net 1.1... I've personally not done much of what asp.net 3.5 released. A few LINQ queries and a listview and a updatepanel on an aspx page. I think things go way too fast. Still companies are using old technologies like VB6 and classic ASP in their systems. Yeah and they're propably spaghetti systems but somehow they're working...

Being a .NET and, indeed, a programmer in any language and architecture requires that you keep up with the language, the architecture, the OS platform, support technologies, the SDLC, and most important, the security surrounding your applications. Since the 90s, the team has become the basic unit of work in any modern organization. Therefore, the only way to keep up with fast moving technologies in the Information Age is working with a software production team: programmers, architects, DBAs, project managers, business analysts, etc. Silo programmers (unless they have no life) cannot keep up. These are the current facts of application production life.

You should try teaching the stuff. I've gone from teaching development in VB, Office and SQL Server to not even being able to cover all of .NET anymore. An the pace increases it forces developers (and trainers) to become more and more specialised. Darren

Apparently .Net 5.0 will be released in Summer 2001. Microsoft have reasoned that temporally agile developers will proficient will the new features by 2010. :)

I'm an MS advocate. However, are the PMs at MS really taking time to assess the gains from these quick releases? The real world IT depts, as noted above by marko, are not willing to migrate to the newer technologies as they cost time and money to learn with little or no overall gain to functionality. Most IT devs have a template or two of code blocks that work to help them save time and get the user where their needing to go. The devs that are trying to keep up seem to be a bit confused as flood of technochanges when 90% of the time all we're really doing is moving data from db to ui and vise versa. I'd be a bit concerned with losing developer interest at this juncture.

I think may be if catch up the MS hook we can learn easily the new releases.Anyway they just adding the very minimal features to each release. :-) What u guys feel..

Your point is absolutely right. Things are just going too fast. I don't even able to learn 2.0 and 3.5 fully and 4.0 is released now. How to catch up this is a big question!!! Articles seems to be of hundred of pages and need a handsome amount of time. I get a summarized asp.net 4.0 features at http://aspdotnet4.blogspot.com/
