Let's face it !!!

It's good to be part of a large organization such Microsoft, since you can leverage efforts happening all over the world. This is the case with a email I received some days ago, containing a real gem.

A list of resources dedicated to Web Development. Some of them were known,  some were pretty new to me. I decided to submit a series of posts for different threads like ASP.NET, Expression Tools, Silverlight, SQL Server etc after I have checked and validated.

Enjoy.
