To make it easy for developers to make sure they're getting all the latest technical information around developing SharePoint solutions, the SharePoint, Visual Studio and Office User Assistance teams have decided to combine their blogging efforts into the new SharePoint Developer Team Blog. Think of it as your one-stop shop for developer-centric SharePoint information, straight from the product teams and user assistance folk responsible for SharePoint Foundation, Server, SharePoint Online, and the SharePoint development tools in Visual Studio.

Here's what you can expect from our new blog going forward:

• Regular, detailed technical information on SharePoint development, such as walkthroughs and code samples, from the people who designed those product features and tools
• Early, first-look versions of content being prepared for publication to MSDN
• Cross-posts and pointers to SharePoint-centric developer content on other specialized blogs
• Announcements of interest to SharePoint developers, such as content updates, service releases, or developer events.

So we're hoping you'll subscribe, and pass the following easy-to-remember URL on to your SharePoint developer friends and colleagues:

And if there are particular things you'd like to see covered or discussed, by all means leave us a comment on our new consolidated blog!
