Do you visit the MSDN Developer Centers?

 

Developer Centers are designed to be one of your first ports of call on MSDN. They are portals – guiding you to the newest technical information, keeping you informed and trying to help grow a “community”.

 

Ok, so in reality we all know that most of the time you reach MSDN by following a link from Goo.. er.. Search.Msn.com. But have you tried visiting a Developer Center to see what’s new in your particular field? 

  • If you do visit MSDN Developer Centers, which is your favorite and why?
  • If you don’t visit, what would encourage you to try them out?

What would your dream Developer Center be like? Would you expect to see the latest hardware and software news? A developer forum? Guest interviews? Blogs? Pages and pages and pages of C++ code? Some kind of mutant off-spring from Pocket PC Thoughts, Engadget and MSDN reference documentation? Feel free to post your comments!
