Today I am pleased to announce the new DirectX MSDN Developer Center. This new site is a complete overhaul of the developer center to make it easier for developers to find the content they are looking for. Using this new site, we hope to provide the best developer content for developers making great graphics applications on a regular basis.
Right from the front page you’ll see the new design pushes the important content right to the front, including downloads, FAQs, documentation, and of course this blog J One major change with the site is that the majority of content is now provided through RSS feeds, so if you want to get the latest and greatest downloads or code samples the moment they’re available, you can easily subscribe to any feed by clicking the orange RSS button .
We know that code samples are an important way for developers to learn the ins and outs of our technologies, so we are working to simplify the way developers can get the code samples for DirectX. To this end, many of our important code samples have been made available on Code Gallery for direct download. In addition, we have a showcase of the latest DirectX tutorials right on the front page.
As always, the Developer Center will provide easy access to all of our documentation. We are constantly looking for ways to improve your experience using this documentation in your development of applications, so please let us know if you have any feedback.
Thanks for reading, and I encourage you to check out the new site! Stay tuned, as we have even more underway to improve the way you access developer resources for DirectX, including forum improvements and new content!
