My Visual Studio 2010 presentation for ICC
Just finished up a presentation on Visual Studio 2010 for ICC's MS Dev special interest group. A good time was had by all. I used the card deck that is in the Training Kit, and added a few salient slides. We had a lot of coversation about Linq, WPF and the lifecycle integration.
My slide deck can be downloaded here, and I also wanted to post a few links that I mentioned in the talk.
- VS 2010 download
- Some best practices surrounding downloading VS 2010
- The hack for getting around the VS expiration
- Some other Activation notes
- The post about linq-to-sql end of life
- The VS training kit
I hope to get some comments back - feel free to email me, especially if they are bad. (heh) Thanks to all for attending!

Hi Bill. Thanks for the presentation. I enjoyed it. It was quite interesting - my first look at VS2010.
I was watching some of the demos on channel9 last night and the "class doesn't exist, do you want to create it" feature worked in C#. You must have just have had bad demo karma. I think they were using the same CTP.
Also, I thought you said the download was over 30GB. The Microsoft Download site says 286.0 MB - 7286.0 MB. That would still take quite a while for me to download over my DSL, but its not quite as bad. I was able to download the 3GB+ VS2008 ISO in an evening.
