I will be putting a list of cool items I found at DevDays and ASP.NET summit!

1 Gripe!  "Why did MS ever choose .NET as their product name?"  It causes such search headaches.

Here is a list of my .NET notes for December.  These notes come from my experience at the Microsoft DevDays in Boston and the ASP.NET Summit in New Orleans during the 4th quarter of 2001.
