whitepaper MSDN Webcast: geekSpeak: Going From Developer to 'Dev-igner' With Frank La Vigne (Level 200)2008-08-20 Microsoft
  Yearning to become a "Dev-igner," a developer/designer hybrid? The old cliché is that developers make poor designers, and many developers needlessly tremble at the site of designer tools such as Microsoft Expression or Photoshop. Graphic design is a process, just like software development. If one learns the basics, he or she can soon turn out better user experiences and find inspiration in the world. The presenter of this webcast shares tips and techniques on how technologies such as Microsoft Silverlight, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), and XAML can help to retire the "Battleship gray" UIs so often sported by applications. Turtlenecks and berets are optional.

whitepaper MSDN Webcast: geekSpeak: Windows Communication Foundation as the New .NET With Juval Lowy (Level 200)2008-08-13 Microsoft
  Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) provides off-the-shelf plumbing for connecting services together. The more granular the services are the more use the application makes of the WCF infrastructure and the less plumbing the developers have to write. Taken to the ultimate conclusion, every class and primitive should be a service to maximize the use of the ready-made infrastructure and to avoid handcrafting plumbing. In theory, this enables effortless transactional integers, secure strings, and reliable classes. However, is it viable in practice? Can Microsoft .NET support it? Will future platforms offer this option? In this webcast, the presenter shares his thoughts on the state of the industry, what is practical and feasible today, and the future of the platform.

whitepaper MSDN Webcast: Using Windows Workflow Foundation to Build Services With Jon Flanders (Level 300)2008-07-09 Microsoft
  Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) is a programming model, set of tools, and runtime environment which allows to write declarative and reactive programs for Windows operating systems. WF is part of the Microsoft .NET Runtime, and it first appeared in Microsoft .NET 3.0. Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is also a programming model, set of tools, and a runtime that first appeared in .NET 3.0. WCF is a framework for building applications that can communicate with each other over varied network protocols. In .NET 3.5, these programming models came closer together to allow easy integration, including allowing WF instances to use WCF to communicate to remote endpoints and allowing WF instances to become the service implementation for WCF endpoints.
