It's been an interesting time. First the MVP summit, where I met many people I only knew by name or IM and email. It was my first summit and I didn't know what to expect, but I really enjoyed myself. A little too much focus on marketting stuff, but we did have time with the web team. The most interesting session was when we (the ASP.NET MVPs) were split into regional groups and given $1000 (virtual, not real) to spend on improving the web platform. What was interesting about this was that the three groups only had one or two items in common; we all had different ideas on what should be added.
After the MVP summit was an ASP Insiders summit, where we spent a lot of time with the ASP.NET team. There was a whole day on Atlas, discussing current and future implementations, as well as sessions on future products. The most impressive from my perspective was Quartz, the new web design tool, which is the tool I want Visual Studio to be. It's hands down better than anything I use at the moment, and while there are other good web tools around, I think Quartz is better. I told the team I'd swap my car for a copy of it now; it doesn't matter that they haven't finished writing it, I'd still use it.
