Quick note that ASP.NET MVC 2.0 was released on Friday, still yet to play with the RTM, but don’t let me stop you. Go for it!
Link dump – mostly from Scott Hanselman’s announcement:
Exciting and just in time for a fairly large project we’re working on right now

JIT for a deployment of UAT for a project we’re working on, Microsoft have released ASP.NET MVC framework as a final RTM only hours ago.
I’ve been working with the framework for the past couple of months and I have to admit its been a burst of fresh air from the standard webforms model.
Download a copy of the RTM and give the samples ago, its bootilicious and hopefully will bring a new cleaner way to write your ASP.NET sites in the future – not that you couldn’t do this before.
The other cool addition is the MVCContrib project which is a complimentary tidbit to help you.
See the ASP.NET MVC site for more information including the ASP.NET MVC Source and dont forget about the free eBook chapter from the upcoming book Professional ASP.NET MVC 1.0

Ah, memories of Struts without the tears and the pain.

Wow, what a stinking hot day today was, utter chaos on our public transport system (which they are explaining and not making excuses about just incase you got con’nexed into thinking that) so it was nice to spend some time on the beach like the rest of the crowd.
More importantly, news in the virtual werld is that Microsoft have released Internet Explorer 8 RC1 for everyone to test against. Essentially its now feature complete and will behave like RC1 at final RTM. So give that a go, if you were a tester you’ll be glad to know that your pre-RC1 copies will upgrade. You wont be able to install it on Windows 7 though!
If you want to peak Inside Internet Explorer 8 theres a good interview on Channel 9 with Dean Haachamovitch and Jason Upton.
Then, theres the release of ASP.NET MVC Framework RC1. See the release notes and take a look.
