.NET 3.5 Enhancements Training Kit

VS2008

:) If this looks familiar, it's because a prematurely posted about this last week. (And I wasn't supposed to.)

Well, NOW I can tell you WHERE to get it !

Here is the announcement ..........

The Visual Studio & .NET Framework evangelism team released a revision of the .NET 3.5 Enhancements Training Kit, updated to work with Visual Studio 2008 SP1 & .NET 3.5 SP1 Beta 1! The April Preview of the training kit has been downloaded over 13,000 times. The May Preview release includes updated hands-on-labs as well as new presentations.

The following features had their labs updated in this iteration:

· ASP.NET AJAX History

· ASP.NET MVC

· ASP.NET Dynamic Data

· ADO.NET Data Services

· ADO.NET Entity Framework

Due to the incompatibility between Visual Studio 2008 SP1 beta 1 and the Silverlight 2 SDK beta 1 release, the ASP.NET Silverlight controls lab that was available in the initial release of the kit, won’t be available in the May preview.

The following features have supporting presentations included in this iteration:

· ASP.NET MVC

· ASP.NET Dynamic Data

· ADO.NET Data Services

New presentations will continue to be developed for inclusion in future iterations. In addition, demo scripts for each presentation will be created and added to the kit.

· You can download the Visual Studio 2008 & .NET 3.5 SP1 beta releases here.

· You can download the training kit here.

Joe,

This Training Kit is a great idea. I've seen the move to offering labs on vm and sites like Channel 9 and really appreciate Microsoft's efforts on this.

One suggestion is that posting links directly like you have on your blog doesn't help me find it next time. Ideally, I'd like to link to a page on MSDN that keeps the latest version so I can put it on our internal resources page on our intranet and help educate all our developers about it. The trouble with all the direct links is that it doesn't scale as I try to educate everyone else. Any effort to bring all the training materials and opportunities together would be great.
