# \[Slides and code\] VS Launch Israel: .NET 2.0 Things You Need To Know

By Roy Osherove December 13, 2005 In [.Net 2.0](https://osherove.com/blog/category/net-2-0), [Agile Related](https://osherove.com/blog/category/agile-related), [Team Agile News](https://osherove.com/blog/category/team-agile-news)

**Historical article** · Originally published December 13, 2005; technical details may be outdated.

You can download the code demos and presentations from my talk with [Jackie Goldstein](http://weblogs.asp.net/jackieg) at the VS Launch in Israel about .NET 2.0 things you need to know.

Jackie played the part of the VB Fanatic, while I played th part of the C# fanatic.

In the end, the VB refactoring demos got some pretty serious applause from a crowd of mostly C# developers, which is a good to way to show people that there are alternatives (which are sometimes more productive than) to C#.

You can [download the slides and code here](http://www.teamagile.com/downloads/VS_Launch_ThingsYouNeedToKnow.zip) (3.5 MB)
