Silverlight 2.0
Version 2.0 of the ubercool Silverlight, Microsoft’ pendant to Adobe Flash, is drawing nigh. Currently available as beta 2, release in june ‘08. Silverlight 2.0 allows embedded code client-side, by some magic, that does not even require having the .NET framework installed on the client.
ASP.NET MVC Framework
Quoting the ASP.NET MVC page:
ASP.NET MVC enables you to build Model View Controller (MVC) applications by using the ASP.NET framework. ASP.NET MVC is an alternative, not a replacement, for ASP.NET Web Forms that offers the following benefits:
- Clear separation of concerns
- Testability – support for Test-Driven Development
- Fine-grained control over HTML and JavaScript
- Intuitive URLs

Oslo
Quoting the official Oslo page:
”Oslo” is the codename for Microsoft’s forthcoming modeling platform. Modeling is used across a wide range of domains and allows more people to participate in application design and allows developers to write applications at a much higher level of abstraction. “Oslo” consists of:
- A tool that helps people define and interact with models in a rich and visual manner
- A language that helps people create and use textual domain-specific languages and data models
- A relational repository that makes models available to both tools and platform components
