Microsoft released the Training Kit for developer yesterday. It contains presentations, Hands on Labs and democode for the new Windows 7 APIs.
The Traing Kit is directed towards to C++ developers, but Microsoft offers Wrapper classen for .NET.
Microsoft released a preview Training Kit for .NET 4.0 & VS 2010: Download. It includes 28 presentations, 13 demos & 16 Hands-on Labs.
Microsoft shows in a Video how the “home of the future” might look like. Some photos of this house could be found here. Speak recognition & “NUI”s are “key features” in this house.
Just found an interesting eBook:

It´s very easy to create an RSS using Linq to XML. In my sample I create a ASP.NET page, which offers a RSS Feed. We add also a meta tag so that users can find our RSS Feed.
Twitter is the internet Microblogging Service – this is my acc BTW. Twitter has an API since the beginning (and IMHO is this one big reason why twitter is so successful). The Twitter API is REST based and so you can easily create Twitter-Clients with .NET. If you don´t want to create the HTTP basic stuff, check out existing libraries, like Tweetsharp.
Just found 3 eBooks:
- ADO.NET Entity Framework: Learning Guide
- Effective Windows Powershell
- Illustrated C# 2008
With ASP.NET MVC the developer has now full control about the HTML rendering and how the form data will be transmitted to the server. But how can you get the form values on the server side? There are better ways in MVC to do that than Request.Form["..."].
The integration of SQL Servers in Visual Studio is really great. I use VS to create my SQL tables and simple administration stuff – it´s not often that I start SQL Management Studio. But one thing is really annoying: You can´t rename SQL Tables in VS! But there is a little trick to do that.
