Microsoft has officially released the .NET Framework 3.0! This release comes with a handful of new technologies that I'm pretty pumped about, particularly WPF - The Windows Presentation Foundation. WPF is, to greatly oversimplify it, their new framework for developing Windows GUI applications.

I've been teaching WPF this semester at Clarkson and am really thrilled with its capabilities. It's by far the most well thought out and put together GUI API I've had the pleasure of using. Now that I've got my website back up and running, I do plan to post several articles and projects in WPF so you all can get started too.

You can find download links for the framework, SDKs, and visual Studio extensions on this blog post on the .NET FX3 website.
