There's lots of goodness happening in the .NET and ASP.NET community right now. If you're not plugged in, you can follow ASP.NET on Twitter or Like ASP.NET on Facebook and we'll keep you up to date with all the great goings-in. You can visit, bookmark and subscribe to the newly revamped and oft-updated ASP.NET website. The new site is lovely on various phones and pads and has loads of content, both textual and video as well as HOURS of free training videos from Pluralsight. There's also an excellent Daily Community Spotlight on the home page there you can also subscribe to in Google Reader that is curated by our very own Jon Galloway.
The ASP.NET Webstack is Open Source now as is the Entity Framework. There's goodness happening from the new MS Open Tech organization and there's also the burgeoning goodness from the newly-created "Monkey Square" non-profit, the same organization that runs the Monospace Conference (follow MonkeySquare on Twitter) started by Joseph Hill, David Nielsen, Dale Ragan, Louis Salin, Phil Haack, and myself, dedicated to open source on .NET. If you haven't registered for Monospace, consider it, as it's a high-signal, low-noise boutique open source .NET conference out of Boston this October. You could even speak!
Download or Stream all these ASP.NET Conference videos and training sessions for free.
But, enough of that, let's talk about videos and education. Just last week we held aspConf, a a free, virtual conference dedicated to ASP.NET organized by and for the community, and all free. It was the sequel to mvcConf and mvcConf 2 and was this year expanded to two full days of great content on the entire ASP.NET platform. There were over 60 presentations from amazing speakers both inside and outside of Microsoft. I was fortunate enough to present the teams' and my vision for "One ASP.NET" in this silly keynote that was presented from the comfort of my home office to over 1200 of you Dear Readers.
aspConf 2012 is now a collection of videos for you to download or stream online in all the usual formats. There's dozens of them to check out and they are excellent. Some of my favorites are:
