Back from Russia

Thanks everyone who came to my talks on ASP.NET Web Forms and MVC in Moscow last week! Here are the slide decks and demo code for the two talks (You need Visual Studio 2010): What's New in ASP.NET MVC 2? What's New in ASP.NET 4 Web Forms? I had a great time in Russia. On the second day, I had an opportunity to walk around Moscow. Here's a picture of me standing in Red Square: Here's a picture of me eating Chicken Kiev with Microsoft evangelist James Senior. James has just started his worldwide Web Camp tour to promote ASP.NET 4. He is traveling non-stop country to country. After Russia, he is off to China and Australia.

On Saturday, I went on my first hike of the spring to Lake Serene and Bridal Veil Falls . This hike is really two hikes in one. The main destination is Lake Serene, but there's an absolutely wonderful half mile (1 mile round trip) side trip to the Bridal Veil Falls on the way to Lake Serene.
