Just got back from Oslo and the web event I did with Microsoft Norway. It was great fun in a totally packed cinema. Close to 440 people showed up! As I promised I've uploaded the sample code (a raw dump of the current version). The plan is to work on the sample and polish it to make it a really useful starting point if you want to look at how VS2008 and .NET 3.5 can help you implement Web 2.0 scenarios...

I'll blog about the different aspects of the sample application in the weeks to come, but for now you can download the ZIP file and play with it yourself. SQL file to create database with sample data is also included. Username/password for test user is jonas/jonas.

I’ll write a new post some time tomorrow highlighting different files in the solution, and share some links to more relevant information.

Thanks to everyone who showed up, hope you enjoyed it!

Update: I've updated the post with some links relevant to the topic of the talk. I decided to update this post in stead of creating a new one since there is allready a conversation going on in the comments area.
