I'm late to the party: C# 3.0 rocks
I know this is lame, but whatever. In my day job we haven't jumped beyond .NET v2.0, which I think is reasonable. In my own part-time self-employment projects, I haven't really developed anything new either, at least not on the server side of things.

Observations on VS2008, .NET v3.5 after four months
Wow, can you believe the new versions have been with us already for one-third of a year? Time flies! I launched a site using the new versions shortly after release, so I'm happy to say that my experience in production has been mostly positive. Here are some loosely coupled thoughts...

Some initial impressions with VS2008
What a difference a couple of years makes. When Visual Studio 2005 was in the works and I was writing my book, I spent a lot of time following the development of the product in the year prior to its release. This time around, I really didn't. On one hand that kind of bums me out because I simply didn't have the time, but on the other hand, I was doing a lot of satisfying coding in my day job. Heck, just having a day job I liked was a great change of pace!

The weirdness between VS dev server and IIS
Every once in awhile I find some strange differences between IIS and the ASP.NET dev server that comes in Visual Studio. The previous item was that IIS seems to have at least two instance of HttpModules, while the dev server only has one.

Made the switch to Subversion, back to NUnit from VSTS
After about two years of using SourceGear's Vault, I switched to Subversion for source control. I was using Vault because it was free, Web-based, integrated with Visual Studio and was generally familiar.
