I just finished watching Scott Hanselman’s (Program Manager for Microsoft) presentation on the .NET Framework (Current and Future) from the PDC 2008, and it was GREAT!  Scott does a great job presenting and “entertaining you” as well.  It is well worth the time, but be warned, you may laugh out loud at times (you’ll see, when you watch his BabySmash .NET application (www.babysmash.com).

Here’s the description of the video:

Join Scott Hanselman for this lots-of-code-minimal slides talk that walks through the sheer joy of building out a .NET Framework application with Visual Studio using many of the new advances in the .NET Framework 3.5SP1 and 4.0. We have a data layer with Entity Framework, use REST web services with WCF and ADO.NET Data Services, write an ASP.NET site for reporting using Dynamic Data and MVC. All the data will come from a WPF client application and a Silverlight application that the audience will run live! All this, plus it's an application that babies and toddlers will love!
