Visual Studio 2008 for Web Developers

Visual Studio 2008 is here and there's a lot to talk about for everyone, but in this session we'll focus on Web developers. There are many improvements to talk about, so you'll see demos aplenty, and with Visual Studio 2008 support for multi-targeting, you can begin using many of these features today without the need to upgrade your 2.0 applications. We'll walk through new ASP.NET controls, integrated AJAX, CSS tools, nested master pages, JavaScript IntelliSense, debugging and more.
