Visual Studio 2008 - Beta 2 Now available

This morning I noticed an entry on Scott Guthries' blog saying that VS2008 beta 2 is now available.

Its got some cool new features, such as MultiTarginging support, where you can build an application for more than one version of the framework; A split view for the Web designer and CSS; AJAX support and LINQ support.

You can read more about each of thses things here on Scotts blog and you can download the beta from MSDN here.

Vote for VBUG Chairman and Vice Chairman

Theres just about a week to go for VBUG members to vote for a new chairman and vice chairman.

If you are a VBUG member, make sure you have your say. You pay for your membership, so make sure that the people who are spending it are doing so in the best possible way for you.

Andrew Westgarth, the coordinator for the North-east, is standing a chairman, and Tim Leung, Who runs the Reading group is standing for vice chairman.

I know both of these guys well and would strongly suggest that they would be good for VBUG members, and the UK developer community at large. Go vote for them now!

Andrew has a blog posting at http://www.andrewwestgarth.co.uk/Blog/showpost.aspx?id=73
