Hosted Labs! Now that's what I call service!

  • Article

I have been wanting to brush up on some Office development stuff, and have been sooo busy getting around the VS2005 B2, I haven't had a chance to get a VPC together and download samples, etc. Well, I discovered these online hosted lab thingys, and they are the bomb!

I did the InfoPath 2003 - Working with XML Data and Custom Submit Processing lab, and although the connection was a little slow (I'm sitting in my lounge room over wireless while downloading the Avalon/Indigo CTP), the actual lab itself was really well structured. There are a whole bunch of labs, so I encourage everyone to check them out, especially the VS2005 and SQL Server 2005 ones.
