- I’m back at the office today after almost two weeks away. So “catch-up” is the official hyphenated word of the day.
- Big news last week was an update on Silverlight. The next version (the one with the embedded cross-platform CLR in it) was rebranded Silverlight 2.0 and will include higher-level UI framework features and richer networking support. Look for a go-live beta Q1 next year.
- According to Scott Guthrie, there should be a CTP of the ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions this week, including the new ASP.NET MVC framework that many folks await with baited breath. Scott posted the second in new series on this framework, this time covering URL Routing.
- After a long blog silence, Pat Helland posted four presentations that he delivered @ TechEd Barcelona. They’re pretty much required reading as far as I am concerned. Here’s hoping the TechEd Barcelona folks recorded at least the audio of these sessions.
- There’s a new drop of F#, v1.9.3.7. Don Syme calls it “a release candidate for F# 1.9.3″. Full release notes are over on his blog.
- Speaking of F#, Douglas Stockwell explains how to roll-your-own F# Express by combining the F# download above & the VS08 shell.
- Still speaking of F#, Robert Pickering has written an article on Active Patterns as well as a series on concurrency in F#. So far he’s covered Async Workflows (twice), Erlang style messages and message queuing.
- Speaking of concurrency, Soma announced the CTP of ParallelFX last week. This includes Parallel LINQ (aka PLINQ) and Task Parallel Library (aka TPL). Also check out their whitepaper, team blog and dev center.
- I’m a big fan of the Architecture Journal. Now you can get all that great content in a great WPF-based app. Simon Guest has the details.
