LightSwitch Beta 2 Content Rollup

Well it’s been 10 days since we released Visual Studio LightSwitch Beta 2 and we’ve been working really hard to get all of our samples, “How Do I” videos, articles and blog posts updated to reflect Beta 2 changes. Yes, that’s right. We’re going through all of our blog posts and updating them so folks won’t get confused when they find the posts later down the road. You will see notes at the top of them that indicate whether the information only applies to Beta 1 or has been updated to Beta 2 (if there’s no notes, then it applies to both).  Check them out, a lot of the techniques have changed. I especially encourage you to watch the “How Do I” videos again.

So here’s a rollup of Beta 2 content that’s been done, reviewed, or completely redone from the team. You will find all this stuff categorized nicely on the new LightSwitch Learning Center into Getting Started, Essential and Advanced Topics. We add more each week!
