Along with that .NET Framework 3.5 was also available as a Beta version and as of 19th of November 2007, .NET Framework's 3.5 version has officially been released!
A new toy for us programmers to play around isn't it?! :)
So with this version it's been about two years know after .NET Framework 2.0' release in 2005.
Here are the direct links to download from Microsoft - for those who wanna skip to the download right away!
Download Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
I'd suggest to download the express version of Visual Web Developer 2008 along with the new framework:
Download Visual Web Developer 2008 Express
Download Visual C# 2008 Express
Find the rest of the 2008 Express Series by clicking here.
I played around little bit with the VWD 2008 Express. Three things that came to my sudden interest:
- Microsoft's recent popular keywords: Controls for AJAX, Silverlight & LINQ are available in the toolbox.
- CSS Properties & Manage Styles tabs saying "hello!" from the left border of the VWD.
- "Split" design mode in addition to 'HTML' and normal 'Design' mode. Was available in Frontpage. Good to see it now in VWD or Visual Studio let's say for those who are lucky to start developing in the 2008 version of Visual Studio! :)
Will keep sharing my experiences with .NET Framework 3.5 and Visual Web Developer!
Please gimme your comments on this and make me happy :)
