Visual Studio 2005 Launch

I attended a local VS 2005 launch at the New Horizons center here in San Antonio today. I have to say that VS2k5 has some huge improvements in the areas of ASP development for the web. Master pages aka templates and the ease of utlizing dynamic data sources such as XML and SQL Server make this release really useful for someone not heavily involved in web development that wants to make a dynamic page. They gave away 3 copies of the software and 2 of them were won by guys at the same company. Talk about rigged.

I am still going to the real MS event in Austin later this month as we are supposed to get VS2k5 and SQL 2k5 software. The event should be a lot better. I got kind of bored watching the VS demos. Live and learn.
