Professional ASP.Net 2.0 - Chapters 1 and 2

Chapter 1 - Introduction

This chapter gives a very very quick overview of what is new in ASP.Net 2.0.

What I benefited from:
I gained a new appreciation as to the intent of the change to 2.0. I believe that there has been a great focus shift to better equip the developer with the best tools and resources.

Chapter 2 - Visual Studio 2005

A broad overview was given on how the Visual Studio 2005 IDE is organized.

What I benefited from:
It is good to see some of the vast improvements in the IDE were hit on in this chapter. The tip on right clicking the tabs to get the new list of options for opening containing folder and closing all documents was the best nugget for me.
