I think that ASP.Net 2.0 will help newbies to embark on the .Net boat. But it surely not going to reduce our time. IMHO it would be unprofessional to let .Net doing everything without any tune up.

Fritz Onion show in this post how coding a login page offers different challenges between 1.0 and 2.0 versions. It's also a good introduction to the new providers model.

Maxim Karpov posted a comment on my last blog entry that included the following statement regarding ASP.NET 2.0:

"To be honest with you, the idea of 70% less code does not sounds all that good. It will be easier to create bad application once again."

This is a reaction I find a fair number of developers have to the next release of ASP.NET. In fact, when I present ASP.NET 2.0 at talks these days, there are typically three standard reactions to the claim of 70% code reduction (and subsequent demonstrations showing why and how):

  1. Oh my gosh, I no longer have to write code to build my site - will I still have a job after this product ships?
  2. Excellent! Now I can stop building all of that drudgery code and focus on more important aspects of my application!
  3. Great, now everyone will think he/she can build a scalable web site with a database backend without writing a line of code. I'm going to have to spend the rest of my professional life fixing sites that claim to be efficient and scalable that were built with drag-and-drop sans code!

Where I think Maxim's reaction falls into category number 3. I personally am quite pleased with the direction they have taken in this next release, and thought it would be worth a blog entry trying to share with you my optimism.
