whidbey beta and little sleep
finally got around to loading 2.0 beta last weekend...WOW! Between, whidbey and the ALC marathon series games this week, there has been little room for sleep. I know, I know, what has taken me so long to get around to looking at the beta.
The main reason for hesitating has to do with fearing the black hole, and after only a week I'm already caught in its gravitational pull. There's the day job paying project that is knee deep in good size 1.1 project that looks pretty busy right up until around 1st quarter 2005. I've loved working with .Net 1.x, and I feel I'm at a pretty good point with my 1.x knowledge base that I can be pretty productive with it. I've feared that if I betrayed my VS2003 IDE, by playing around with VS2005, it would be tough to look in her the eyes from 9-5. Well it's happened; and after only 1 week I think I'm in love.
Partial classes, generics, my., provider models, the new win controls, the new web controls...The day job is the day job, but I don't think I'll sleep much for a while with my new night time acquaintance; it's tough to live a double life.
