[SGVLUG] OT - MS VS studio free to attendees of launch event

[James Magdaleno]

"I'm not aware of any household name web sites with millions of
concurrent users being powered by .net."

Myspace.com, Match.com, and Monster.com are probably the ones MS will
brag about the most... they all use .net framework.

Michael: You can use the free Visual Web Developer tool offered by MS.

You can download a trial copy of the necessary software from Microsoft.
180 day trials are pretty common. 

Or you could you know... Purchase the software. I have purchased
office/windows vista and 2008/exchange etc. Stop trying to get stuff for
free. 

Or write it with mono/mono develop.

 Or use python/java/ruby/c++ which are languages that have a proven
track record powering the worlds largest websites. Utilizing tools like
eclipse/netbeans which are pretty cool and free is probably a better
tack.  

I'm not aware of any household name web sites with millions of
concurrent users being powered by .net. 

My experience with large scale sites has been php/java with oracle and
mysql backends. We used eclipse/netbeans for all the development. 

Dare I ask what web 3.0 is????

Um, did anyone get a copy that I might have somehow?  Seriously.  I am
working on a MS SQL & Visual Studio project (a Web 3.0 thing, which I
later hope to port to open source tools), just financed with my spare
time, and would have definitely gone the this event (for the software
and instruction) but sadly I didn't see this announcement until now.  So
if someone got a copy they weren't using or might part with somehow, I'd
quite appreciate that.  (Aside: thanks for sharing this news, Matti!
Indeed it is ironic that I've been attending the local DOT NET & MS user
groups, but it's the great Linux users mailing list where I hear of this
important MS announcement - thanks!)
