I also talked about my open source Windows 8 RSS Reader app and showed few code examples from it. You can download the full source from Codeplex.com

I have blogged about some of the new features in ASP.NET 4.5 WebForms, during Microsoft’s Build conference the first preview of .NET 4.5 was made available for download, besides WebForms there also have been significant improvements in the ASP.NET Core, including:

Note that this is still a developer preview release which means it is not even beta so features may be added or removed.

I’m excited to see enhancements like these coming to ASP.NET 4.5 in the near future.
