Just a quick one here. As I am re-writing thedotnetdiary.co.uk I have opted to use the beta of Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition. My first impression has to be a big thumbs up. MS have judged the area spot on. It lays somewhere between Web Matrix and the full Visual Studio. It uses .net v2.0, so you have to make sure that you do not use anything 1.1 cannot handle when going in to production. One thing I realy like is you have a choice if you wish to use code-behind or not. The Toolbox sweeps in and out like VS and you can pin it down. That is one area I thought Web Matrix lost out on. Oh and there is Intellisense and autocomplete. Go take a look. The URL for more info is http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/.

Lycos/Codezone
Two things to report today. Firstly congrats to Lycos for releasing their anti-spam screeansaver. If you don't know anything about it go here for a look. It's about time someone tried taking on the spammers.
Secondly, I just stumbled across a UK project called Codezone. It's a MS backed project, don't know too much about it, but it lists different resources about .net and is UK based (albeit based on a US project). Go take a look. I will certainly be posting some stuff there. Doug Seven heads the US version, so it has a dotnetJunkie at its helm which has to be good news.

Events
As I am researching content for www.thedotnetdiary.co.uk I have come across Devweek 2005 which is on the 21st-25 Feb 2005. I would love to go to something like that, but with a price tag of arround £1000 there is no chance I could get my dept to fund it. I know MS do small regional events that are either free or very minimal cost, does anyone know of any .net events that are free. If you know of any let me know here administrator@thedotnetdiary.co.uk .
Go Blogger Go
Well after sutch a long time pondering over blogging, I have finally set one up. My website www.thedotnetdiary.co.uk which was where I used to put my blogg messages was hacked last month, so as I am rewriting that, I may as well sepperate the blogging stuff and my other .net stuff.
Thedotnetdiary will be back soon. I am currently restructuring it with Visual Studio, more on that soon.
