Windows Vista development resources

Windows Vista development resources

The release of Windows Vista has brought about a plethora of tips, tutorials and other resources. Here we link to some helpful Vista resources for .NET developers, as suggested by Chris Bowen, Bob Familiar and Russ Fustino, who recently came to Nashua, New Hampshire as part of the Windows Vista Ready for a New Day: Launch Tour 2007.

Launch Tour 2007 resources: This site provides all the resources related to Microsoft's ongoing Windows Vista launch tour, such as case studies and demos of Office 2007 and Vista itself. The "Materials for Developers" section links to additional case studies, virtual labs and webcasts based on the launch event presentations.

DinnerNow.Net: This site may be fake -- you cannot, in fact, use it to order food and have it delivered to your door -- but all the code is real. The site uses all the .NET Framework 3.0 technologies, along with some ASP.NET AJAX and IIS 7.

Bob and Chris' MSDN Roadshow: Readers in New England may want to check out one of these free events, which are co-hosted by Bowen and Familiar and which focus on "all things .NET 3.0."
