Get a life!
Some of the Windows Live platform folks and friends have put together "Live in a Box," a set of easy step-by-step tutorials and hands on labs to help you get started building on the Windows Live Platform. It's posted on CodePlex (Microsoft's open source project hosting web site). So, use it to get you up to speed on Windows Live technologies and be sure to leave feedback to the team. And if you want, join the project!
Dowload the "box" and learn to use:
- Live Search APIs
- Virtual Earth (mapping) APIs
- Messenger Activity APIs
- Web Gadgets
- Windows Live Contacts Control
- WPF/e ( a new technology for delivering annimation, graphis, audio and video on the Web)
