On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Four Demystifying Programs,
Three Products Launching,
Two cool industry conferences,
And the source code to Tafiti.
Wow, this is so well done!
As members of the Developer Platform Evangelism (DPE) team within Public Sector at Microsoft, James Chittenden and David Baliles wanted to provide some of their latest creations to the public. Two of their four developer resources, MSDN Admin Kit and MSDN BluePrints, leverage the very latest in Silverlight 2.0 technologies to serve up relevant information for MSDN Administrators and End Users of all roles in the Software Development Lifecycle. Feel free to download these two Silverlight 2.0 web applications via Codeplex and take the very latest technology for a spin.

What's in it...here's a taste:
- This program and associated resource kit derived from a clear need of our customers to gain a better understanding of what developer software is installed in a desktop environment, determine how many "developers" are present in the organization based on these results, and report all of the findings in a clear, simple manner. The Developer Desktop Inventory Kit, known as the DDIK, is a targeted content resources kit aimed at addressing this need, and is delivered via either self-help or formal partner-led training. - http://www.msdnddik.com/
- We received tons of positive feedback about our SDLC Resources in version 2.0 and wanted to continue that with this release. So we've updated them to include for Visual Studio 2008 topics, added new ones like Eclipse/JAVA integration and provided file and content types so you can pivot to just the ones you need...webcasts, books etc. - http://www.sdlcinabox.com/
Wishing you more Holiday Cheer!
