MSDN Unleashed (Summer ‘08) Resource Roundup
I’d like to thank everyone who joined us for the MSDN Unleashed events in the recent weeks. There were issues squeezing in all of the content in the time allotted, and for that I apologize. We’ll make the necessary changes for future MSDN Unleashed events. Still, I hope your time spent with us was worth the effort. I can’t wait to see the great apps all of you will be building using WPF and the enhancements to VS2008 with SP1.
As promised, I said I’d provide you a few additional nuggets of information and pointers to a number of resources we discussed (and more!).
