Some MSDN Flash subscribers received a copy that did not include today's Top News about the availability of the SharePoint Server 2010 and Office Professional Plus 2010 Betas, and so we've sent a new copy that includes these important news items. |
|
| Top News | Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 provides an extensible solution platform to rapidly build solutions using familiar .NET technologies like Visual Studio 2010 and SharePoint Designer 2010. You'll find a rich set of out-of-the-box features such as Business Connectivity Services for read/write integration between application data, the Web, and Office 2010 client. | | Office 2010 presents several exciting advances for developers by offering substantially expanded platform services, a big leap in tools productivity, and longer strides as an open/interoperable platform. | |
|
| Student News | Facebook is officially supporting the Microsoft SDK for Facebook Platform, which enables developers to include Facebook's rich social features in their applications built with Microsoft technology. This support provides developers with an API, samples, and developer tools to build Facebook applications in ASP.NET, Silverlight, and WPF, among others. | | Join us for the next installment in the Microsoft Students to Business fall webcast series.

| | |  | _________________  | New Look for MSDN Flash: Tell Us What You Think For this and the next edition of MSDN Flash, we will continue testing a new template. That means half of you will receive a new-look newsletter and the other half will receive the more familiar layout. The division is random but in both cases, your experience will depend heavily on your personal customization settings. We're interested in your input on the new format. Let us know what you think. |
