Microsoft hosted a developer event in Slovenia, called TechDays and have invited me to present some of the new features of ASP.NET vNext and MVC 6. I wanted to post the slides online. They are a combination of slides from Scott Hanselman and Daniel Roth that were available on Channel 9. Additionally, I've added some slides of my own, especially as a summary of what's new.
The presentation is here: http://goo.gl/FhCNWr. I am looking forward to feedback, comments and questions.
So what is new? You can read more about this (and follow the demo) at the official vNext page and it's getting started section. Additionally, if you want to look at the source control, open https://github.com/aspnet. Yes, finally - Microsoft is fully open source, and is very open about the development and progress. They are also running weekly community stand-ups where they are giving the community feedback about the progress of the project.
