I was a little skeptical of a 3 hour presentation on ASP.Net 2.0 this morning.  All I can say is WOW!  3 hours was not enough.  Scott Guthrie and the ASP.Net team have taken ASP.Net farther than I ever dreamed possible.

The rest of the day was an overview of C#, VB.Net and C++.Net.  In .Net 1.0 & 1.1, C# and VB.Net were almost identical in syntax and feature set and C++ went through some sort of a mid-life crisis.  With .Net 2.0, the languages are getting their personalities back with killer features that make a language choice something to seriously think about.  I developed mainly in C++ until I started UI’s and I switch into a lot of VB and since the tech preview of .Net I have been exclusively using C#.  So I saw major benefits to each language and I am going to have to adopt a multi-personality type approach to .Net 2.0 development to explore all of the innovative functionality.
