Two days I go I got the beta 2 of Visual Studio 2010, which is scheduled to be released in the first half of next year. With it, came .Net Framework 4 beta 2. I’ve taken a good look at the changes in these new versions, and am really excited about the new features included in them.
The new WPF interface of VS is obviously cool, but it includes heaps of improvements, making life for the user easier. I’m still in the process of finding all goodies Image may be NSFW.

The changes in the new .Net Framework are even more exciting. It includes a new parallel programming model, enabling you to create multi threaded applications without having to bother the low level work like locks and thread pools that was required until now. Also new are code contracts, a very handy feature allowing you to specify certain conditions for your code state (see this blog post). On top of that, there are various new features that where lacking in previous versions of the framework, like biginteger support, tuples and complex numbers, as well as multiple others.
