.NET 3.5 Enhancements Training Kit May Preview

The Visual Studio & .NET Framework evangelism team has released a revision of the .NET 3.5 Enhancements Training Kit, updated to work with Visual Studio 2008 SP1 & .NET 3.5 SP1 Beta 1! The May Preview release includes updated hands-on-labs as well as new presentations.

The following features had their labs updated in this iteration:

  • ASP.NET AJAX History
  • ASP.NET MVC
  • ASP.NET Dynamic Data
  • ADO.NET Data Services
  • ADO.NET Entity Framework

Due to the incompatibility between Visual Studio 2008 SP1 beta 1 and the Silverlight 2 SDK beta 1 release, the ASP.NET Silverlight controls lab that was available in the initial release of the kit, won’t be available in the May preview.

The following features have supporting presentations included in this iteration:

  • ASP.NET MVC
  • ASP.NET Dynamic Data
  • ADO.NET Data Services

New presentations will continue to be developed for inclusion in future iterations. In addition, demo scripts for each presentation will be created and added to the kit.

You can download the training kit here.

We hope to continue receiving feedback from the community in order to improve the quality of the kit’s contents. If you have any questions or comments about the training kit, or its contents, please feel free to email me.
