Ever wonder what you should know before starting a Microsoft Surface development project.  Here are some things the "Getting Started" documents don't tell you.

Here is the demo code I used during the MSDN webcast with Mike Benkovich. This demo project shows how to see what LINQ to SQL is doing under the covers, when you execute a LINQ to SQL query.

 This is the demo code and slide deck that was presented at the Minnesota Developer Conference on Sept 30.

This is the demo code used to present at the August Twin Cities Silverlight User Group.  Download the Silverlight 2 project that has several nice binding and converter lessons in it.

This is the demo solution I presented at the Twin Cities Silverlight User Group on April 23.
