Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 Launch: A Summary of Technical Content that Matters to Developers
Oh my! The day is finally here! We have been working for months on producing and releasing technical content that matters to developers. So many steps and multiple people at Microsoft and the developer community have contributed heavily to the Office and SharePoint 2010 launch. Today is the happy day when we get to take it all live.
Many of you enjoyed the content we released during Beta, so we updated most of it and created more for Launch.
I realize each one of this projects deserves a blog entry, but since you all can’t wait to know about the recently released content, here goes my summary of technical content for developers that we just published on MSDN. This should matter to everyone interested in taking a deep dive into developing solutions with Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010.
