    Want to pick up a new technology in 10-15 minutes?

    Hilary just pointed me to some great How-To videos. The How-do-I? series on MSDN covers a bunch of topics and is regularly growing. Right now they cover topics like:

    • ASP.NET
    • ASP.NET Ajax
    • Devices
    • Native Coding
    • Silverlight
    • Visual Basic
    • Visual Studio
    • Visual Studio Tools for Office
    • Visual Studio Team System
    • Windows Forms
    • Windows Presentation Foundation

     

    Very cool. What other topics would you be interested in seeing a quick How-to screencast on?
