April 12th was an exciting day last week when we announced general availability of Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4. We held 5 major Launch events around the world in Beijing, Kuala Lumpur, Bangalore, London, and Las Vegas. You can find recordings here.
However it is truly just the beginning of a long launch season to come. You can find a long list of events around the world and register here. (Use the left tab to navigate to “Find Events Near You”.) For those in the U.S., you can also find a list of U.S. events here.
I’ll be presenting the keynote at one of the U.S. Launch Events next week in Orlando, Florida. You can find more information on the agenda below. The event is free, and open for registration here.
