The first version of the .NET 3.5 Enhancements Training Kit has been officially released to the public!
The .NET 3.5 Enhancements Training kit builds on the success of the Visual Studio 2008 Training Kit which resulted in 70,000 completed downloads since being released in November. These training kits provide a way for developers to grasp the breadth of the entire release, as well as dive deep into a specific technology.
The .NET 3.5 Enhancements Training Kit covers the technologies in the .NET 3.5 SP1 release and the out of band releases that are a part of the same wave, namely ASP.NET MVC and the ASP.NET Silverlight controls. Currently, the training kit contains six hands-on labs, made up of the following technologies:
- ADO.NET Data Services
- ADO.NET Entity Framework
- ASP.NET AJAX History
- ASP.NET Dynamic Data
- ASP.NET MVC
- ASP.NET Silverlight controls
All six labs contained within the kit have been tested and validated by customers during two .NET 3.5 SP1 training workshops held in Redmond. We will continue to receive customer and field feedback on the labs and incorporate the feedback into future iterations. There will also be new versions of the training kit with additional content, including presentations, demo scripts and screencasts.
The next iterative release of the kit will occur in sync with the beta release of .NET 3.5 SP1.
Hope this helps,
Regards
