The New Office - Developer and IT Pro Resources
Last week we unveiled the customer preview of the new Microsoft Office, available at https://office.com/preview. Be sure to read the press release when you get a moment. There is an on-demand recording of the event webcast that is a little over an hour in length that is very informative.
We also wanted to point developers and information technology professionals to some great resources on MSDN, TechNet, the Office Blogs, and various other locations on the network. Naturally the link for the download is also provided below.
