I’m traveling to Russia and speaking in Moscow next week at the DevConf. This will be the first time that I have visited Russia, and I know that there is a strong ASP.NET community in Russia, so I am very excited about the trip. I’m speaking at the DevConf (http://www.devconf.ru/). I don’t speak Russian, so the only words that I recognize off the home page of the conference website are ASP.NET and JavaScript (PHP, Perl, Python, and Ruby must be Russian words). I’m giving talks on both ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC: What’s New in ASP.NET 4 Web Forms Learn about the new...

I spent close to three weeks on the road giving talks at Tech-Ed Europe (Berlin), PDC (Los Angeles), and the Los Angeles Code Camp (Los Angeles).

At PDC, I announced all of the new features of our ASP.NET Ajax Library. In particular, I made five big announcements: ASP.NET Ajax Library Beta Released – You can download the beta from Ajax.CodePlex.com ASP.NET Ajax Library includes the AJAX Control Toolkit –...

Thanks everyone for the incredible amount of feedback that I got after my two talks at MIX last week -- I'm still receiving emails. I've added links to the video recordings of the talks below: ASP.NET 4.0: What's Next? ASP.NET: Taking AJAX to the Next Level Here are the links to the slides and code samples: ASP.NET 4.0: What's Next? ASP.NET: Taking AJAX to the Next Level Realize that the code from the ASP. NET 4.0 Talk requires Visual Studio 2010 -- so you won't be able to do much with it without Visual Studio 2010 other than take a look at the code in Notepad.

I'm giving 5 separate talks.  I'm presenting two talks on Microsoft day: ASP.NET MVC: A New Framework for Building Web Applications ASP.NET MVC is Microsoft’s newest framework for building web applications. In this session, you learn how to take advantage of ASP.NET MVC to build loosely coupled and highly testable applications.

You learn how to use several features of the ASP.NET MVC framework including Model Binders, Partials, and...
