Ninject v2.0 is now available. Ninject is an open-source, fast, lightweight dependency injector for .NET applications. It helps split your application into a collection of loosely-coupled, highly-cohesive pieces, and then glue them back together in a flexible manner. By using Ninject to support your software’s architecture, your code becomes easier to write, reuse, test and modify.

SLARToolkit is now available at CodePlex. SLARToolkit is an open-source Augmented Reality library for Silverlight. It can be used with Silverlight’s Webcam API, any CaptureSource or a WriteableBitmap. SLARToolkit uses a dual license model and could be used for open or closed source applications under certain conditions.
Augmented Reality (AR) is the addition of computer-generated imagery to a live view. The augmentation is typically in real-time and in semantic context with the current view, such as sports scores on TV during a football game.

From Microsoft: ASP.NET MVC 2 provides a Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework on top of the existing ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 runtime. It’s a framework for developing highly testable and maintainable Web applications by leveraging the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. The framework encourages developers to maintain a clear separation of concerns among the responsibilities of the application — the UI logic using the view, user-input handling using the controller, and the domain logic using the model. ASP.NET MVC applications are easily testable using techniques such as test-driven development (TDD).
The time to provide feedback on this Release Candidate (RC) will be very short as Microsoft is fast approaching the Release-to-Manufacturing (RTM) version.
