Chats on Visual Basic 2005
For the past year, I've been organizing the Visual Basic chats that appear at http://msdn.microsoft.com/chats/. For the most part, these chats focused on answering your questions about Visual Basic.
Naturally, now that the Beta 1 for Visual Basic 2005 is available, I wanted to schedule some chats to answer your Beta questions. But after discussing this with Robert Green, we decided to change the format somewhat; instead of just answering questions, the chat hosts will also be looking for feedback about what you like (or don't like) about the selected feature.
I'm very excited about this new approach of using the chat medium to get feedback, and I hope it works well for everyone. The chats we've set up delve deeply into many of the features that Visual Basic 2005 offers.
