I wonder what adobe will say. It could only be better if adobe offered this tool free to visual studio licensee's. That would for sure make Microsoft happy as Microsoft does not give the expression tools away for free.

I will stick with Subsonic thanks... Microsoft needs to get a clue

While I like ROR and the speed in which one can write it.
<rant>I feel due to the ASP.NET team (Scott Gu and friends)making what in my mind was closed source (unavailable libraries) available and hiring open source developers as well as those in the community aimed at making the web a more "well oiled" (using machine reference here cause shouldn't it be considered that?) Engine able to produce better commerce and social networking while keeping a grip on security and best practices (wow that was a long sentence).

So to compare technologies like ROR, PHP, Java (I know I am missing some) with ASP.NET. The idea is not to downplay and say one is better than the other but to find more ways to work closer with these various techniques and improve the overall user experience.

ASP.NET does deserve respect and has gained mine through Microsoft making moves to integrate and play nice with developers as well as those technologies we think are the "Best"

Long live the web. Now pass me a cup of web2.0</rant>

This is cool! Thanks. :D

<rant><mso>so you would rather use frontpage/dreamweaver to edit your html/xhtml? Wow. I would rather a serious kick in the pants than to use those types of applications to "shortcut" my html/xhtml development. </mso></rant>

@TheColonial
While I agree with you on many fronts.
Twitter is very jammed up with other applications spewing forth stuff that is undesirable.

It is your choice to follow or remove people from the twitter list that use any apps that might clutter up your experience.

However there is no reason not to use a very "open" api for learning and development.

This is very cool. Want Zune as well as windows media player support and then I am sold. =)

Excellent PodCast Thanks.

@SuperJason Nice. I agree I should retitle the submission.

Explains a lot . :)

I think everything was cool about this product other than this statement: "Did you know that failure to correctly declare the DOCTYPE of an (X)html Web site can lead to search engines diagnosing your Web pages as 404 (File Not Found Error)?" (http://www.aggiorno.com/why-aggiorno.aspx) In my experience that is a very false statement.

Only thing that bothers me about this post is when a submitter does not kick it. Makes one wonder. However the article is valid.

The best managers I have had were Developers themselfs.

Got mine!

Just what I was looking for. Thanks.

Thanks Patrick!
