One of the most requested things Microsoft has heard is that developers want snippets, samples, sample applications and other resources. So, we've launched the MSDN Code Gallery.
The MSDN Code Gallery is a portal for snippets, samples and other resources. In it you can find pages that describe samples and supporting documents including screenshots and design documents. In addition, you will find hosted conversations about these samples, sample projects or other resources that have been provided to the community. This destination is open to the entire community to contribute content to.
Go check it out! Finding the right code snippet can save you hours of frustration and hard work.
Microsoft and Mentez (www.mentez.com) will be holding two evening workshops on Facebook/Silverlight development.
We have the pleasure of inviting all developers interested in Facebook applications and using Silverlight to enhance these applications even further. The workshop will present best practices, and the infrastructure and technology required to develop the best Facebook/Silverlight applications.
Speakers for the night include Juan Franco, CEO of Mentez coming from Miami; Jason Hoffman, CTO of Joyent, a company based in San Francisco that host more than 4,000 Facebook applications; Eben De Wit from Microsoft South Africa; Armand du Plessis from Agilisto South Africa, and Joey da Silva, an Online Business & Web Technology 'Fundi'. Tyler Reed from Younique South Africa will be leading a Q&A session with a panel of experts at the end of the event.
