Quickstarts anyone?
Got some good feedback from my last post, Mitch said he'd be interested in creating the DirectX managed screensaver, so look for it in the upcoming Whidbey SDK release. Keep those suggestions coming, I promise to follow up on them. I'll be pinging the product teams with the other suggestions, some of them are a little big to be a sample, (Mitch was wondering if they were someone's homework assignment :) ) but maybe someone on the product team would be interested in putting it together as a one time thing.
Speaking of samples, have you folks used the Quickstarts, and do you install them on your local machine or just access on the web from one of the many sites that host them (like http://www.asp.net/tutorials/quickstart.aspx ) Did you even know that you could install the Quickstarts on your machine after you install the .NET Framework SDK. What do you like/not like about them? We just re-wrote the Quickstarts to use ASP.NET Whidbey (which rocks BTW, my favourite feature is that I can change my code on my ISP on the fly without having to recompile my code behind pages each time)
