New Features in C# 4.0 Paper, plus Feedback and Samples

blogs.msdn.com — Mads Torgersen, a C# PM and member of the C# design team, has worked with other members of the C# team to create a document that outlines the new features in C# 4.0.

I also want to make sure you know about the C# 4.0 samples. These short projects are designed to demonstrate how to use the new language features in C# 4.0. Finally, I provide a link to the Visual Studio 2010 CTP forums based feedback area, where you can comment on the new features Microsoft has planned for the C# language and the VS IDE.
