Heroes Happens VS2008 sessions files

The Heroes Happens VS2008 sessions files are now available for downloading.

I received the following email from Simon.

“As discussed, I’ve uploaded the Visual Studio 2008 files to our server for those who didn’t have a laptop the other night.

There are two zip files containing the Training Kit and the heroescommunitylaunch.com. There are two folders containing the videos and the VPC files. The VPC files are a set and all need to be downloaded before use (~4GB).

The files can be browsed and downloaded from http://www.expressnet.com.au/adnug

Thank you Simon.

As I pointed out at the meeting, these sessions, presentations, demos, labs and doco contain a wealth of well prepared information on VS2008, and will be an enormous help to your take up of VS2008.

Happy VS2008ing.
