Book Review ASP.NET MVC 1.0 Quickly Maarten Balliauw Packt Publishing I set out to learn ASP.NET MVC with this book with some trepidation, as the preview release of ASP.NET 2.0 was already available.

This is my prediction. I would not be betting my business on Adobe Flash right now. A number of factors are conspiring to kill Flash at the moment. There's some background by Scobleizer . According to Robert Scoble, "developers [...] are no longer including Flash in their plans". Big names...
