Visual Studio 2008 training Kit now Available

daiken — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 17:26:39 GMT

Today we released the Visual Studio 2008 Training kit. You can download it right now from http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=7602397

The Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 Training Kit includes presentations, hands-on labs, and demos. This content is designed to help you learn how to utilize the Visual Studio 2008 features and a variety of framework technologies including: LINQ, C# 3.0, Visual Basic 9, WCF, WF, WPF, ASP.NET AJAX, VSTO, CardSpace, SilverLight, Mobile and Application Lifecycle Management.

This content was developed over the last few months. As part of the development process, we presented many of the topics to real people we invited to Redmond. In September we recorded these sessions and are making these available on Channel 9. There will be several videos posted each Monday for the next few weeks. Today I posted:

Lap around Visual Studio 2008 & .NET Framework 3.5 presented by James Conard
What's new in C# 3.0? presented by Luke Hoban
What's new in Visual Basic 9.0? presented by Amanda Silver
.NET Framework 3.5 Enhancements presented by Jack Gudenkauf
.NET Language Integrated Query (LINQ) presented by Luca Bolognese
Using LINQ with Relational Data presented by Mike Pizzo
ADO Synchronization Services presented by Steve Lasker

It was great working with all the different folks on the content and the training events over the last few months and I hope you enjoy using the kit as much as we did putting it together.

Hosting Windows PowerShell Part 3 - The Revenge of the MMC

daiken — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 23:50:00 GMT

I've just posted the final screencast on hosting Windows PowerShell to Channel 9. In the final part, I show how you can build an administration GUI using MMC, which calls into PowerShell Cmdlets. In the video, I show Get-Service and Stop-Service - but they could have easily been your own Cmdlets.

I'm ramping up some more episodes for the DFO show, in a bid to make it almost weekly. Good luck to me.

Do you build GUI's for your application administrators? Do you provide a consistent familiar interface? Do you provide scripting capabilities? Sometimes I get mistaken for the Windows PowerShell evangelist. Whilst that is fun, its not my whole story....(read more)
