Been out since Wednesday but in case you didn't hear...
Developing with WebMatrix, ASP.NET Web Pages Framework, and Razor will be nothing like the 90's and Classic ASP. This is fun stuff and very appropriate for the task at hand.
Microsoft.Data.dll seems very appropriate for the type of development and tooling used to build these forms-over-data web applications.
Microsoft releases a sneak peek of ASP.NET MVC 3. Mostly it is just fun using Razor in something else besides WebMatrix, even though we have no intellisense and code highlighting.
Best Book on ASP.NET MVC 2 Ever!
I don't see the WebMatrix as the smartest path to learning more enterprise web frameworks, skills and tooling IMHO.
Q2 Update of Telerik's Extensions for MVC has additional "controls"!
Looking forward to SQL Server CE 4, but let's not forget the wonderful SQLite!
For Web Developers interested in developing database-driven websites using the Microsoft Stack, you may be interested in a new web development tool by Microsoft, called WebMatrix.
These are a steal at the introductory price. Check out the latest IDE's from JetBrains! Inexpensive, unbloated, and feature-rich!
