These are exciting times to be a .NET developer, and Visual Studio 2010 (VS2010) and the .NET 4.0

framework have brought a bewildering number of changes. But fear not! In this book I will be getting you

up to speed on these enhancements, and also taking a brief look at some of the important out-of-band

releases, such as ASP.NET MVC, Silverlight, and WCF Data Services. There is some cool stuff in this

release, and most of it is not that tricky (with the exception of variance and parallelization) to get to grips

with.
