Lego MindStorms allow building small robots based on the popular Lego bricks. A programmable brick allows controlling up to three devices (motors) and test up to three input sensors. Programs are expressed in a bytecode interpreted by an interpreter in the brick's ROM. Visual Storms is a system capable of translating the information in .NET executables so they can be executed on the Lego Mindstorms. It compiles Intermediate Language (IL) into Lego bytecode, in this way almost any .NET language can be used to program the Brick.

Scott Guthrie co-founded the ASP.NET Team, and leads the design team responsible for architecting the product. Listen to a video interview of Scott discussing ASP.NET 2.0"Whidbey", a major upcoming release of the ASP.NET Web development platform. He overviews the evolution of ASP.NET, innovations in Whidbey in the areas of developer productivity, administration and management, extensibility, and performance and scalability.

Whidbey introduces a technology codenamed "ClickOnce" that allows developers to write Windows Forms applications that utilize the powerful features of the client, yet are as hassle-free to deploy and update as a Web page. Watch Jamie Cool of the WinForms team introduces how to use this to build and deploy client side user interfaces.
