Its a non stop .net roller coaster

Visual Studio 2008 has only been out the door 5 minutes and there is a whole load of new technologies and CTPs flying out of the door. You barely get a chance to catch your breath the speed some of these are appearing.

Like most people I don’t have time to look at all of the new stuff on the horizon. But I’m most interested in:

Parallel Extensions to .Net Fx. I want to spend some time looking at this, i’ve got an interest in parallel programming and I really want to see what they’ve done here and how easy it makes it to make use of all those cores.

ASP.Net MVC. I been doing mainly WinForms and WPF work recently. Its been a little while since I did any ASP.Net so I really want to see how well this works. I did a bit of MVC when I had a dabble at Cocoa programming on the Mac. It’ll be intersting to see how ASP.Net MVC stacks up against the original asp.net page model. 

As I have a play with these i’ll post up a few musings and i’ll see if I can do something cool with them.
