Check out this new VS 2010 and .NET Fx 4.0 videos page on channel9. We're rolling out a set of videos for this week, including Jason Zander's keynote at Tech Ed in Barcelona, Anders doing q&a on C# 4.0, Lucien on VB 10, and others! If you're curious what we've been up to since releasing VS 2008, this content combined with the PDC videos give you plenty of choices.

If you don't have time to watch the videos, Jason has a good blog post summarizing key news.

PDC videos

For those of you who are not at PDC in LA this week, watching the videos is a great substitute. I watched the Day 1 and Day 2 keynotes yesterday, which are at http://microsoftpdc.com. I enjoyed seeing the parts that I wasn't already familiar with, especially the Windows 7 and Office Web app demos. Some breakout sessions are starting to come on line, e.g., I'm watching a Window Azure breakout now.

C# PDC videos

With PDC going on in LA this week, we have a number of new C# videos available:

Anders' PDC talk on The Future of C#, where he describes the work we plan to deliver as part of C# 4.0 in Visual Studio 2010. There are six demos:

Silverlight C#/JavaScript interop improvements using the new dynamic programming extensions.
C#/Python interop using dynamic programming extensions.
Creating a dynamically typed property bag in C# using dynamic programming extensions.
Improvements to Office Automation (bye-bye “Type.Missing” and “ref missing”).
Parallel Extensions to .NET (Task Parallel Library and Parallel LINQ, aka TPL and PLINQ).
A sneak peek at read-eval-print loop using managed C# compiler.

We have a series of three videos that we did with informIT:

C# 4.0 with Anders Hejlsberg, Mads Torgersen, and Eric Lippert - Part 1 of 2
C# 4.0 with Anders Hejlsberg, Mads Torgersen, and Eric Lippert - Part 2 of 2
A video about the latest edition of our book, The C# Programming Language, Third Edition. The book is literally hot off the presses, so if you're ordering it, make sure you get the Third Edition.

Enjoy!
