Lets be honest, we all know that the coolest thing about Visual Studio 2008 is Visual Studio Tools for Office. Which means that we don't have to get deep and (morally) dirty with VBA macros, but can do it with .NET. So, all good office developers should be eyeing VS2008 with interest. Likewise, all good .NET developers should be eyeing Office with renewed interest for extending their own apps into Office, for a familiar (and rocking) end user experience. Check out these upcoming training events.

Overview:

This two-day partner technical readiness event is designed to introduce developers to many of the new features in Visual Studio 2008. Now that Microsoft has released Visual Studio 2008, it is time to start learning how to use these great enhancements in the applications you write and deploy. Learn how Visual Studio 2008 provides a compelling development environment for building rich client and web applications.
