Microsoft RD GrokTalks
At TechEd in Florida, the Microsoft Regional Directors held a series of groktalks.
Apparently, a groktalk basically just includes the need to know stuff and no superfluous waffle or spin.
They're now posted onto the Groktalks website - two stand out for me:
Scott Hanselman - 10 Utilities in 10 Minutes
Scott has blogged on this subject before but its nice to see him showing off his favourite utilities.
A couple of them were a bit developery for me but one tool really stood out - Cropper.
Imagine my surprise when, coming here to blog about it, I find that its creator also blogs here!
Great work Brian!
Thomas Lee - Windows Installer XML
Thomas has a great session on using Windows Installer XML. I was introduced to this by Neil when i needed to build an MSI file for a project I was working on. Thomas' presentation provides a basic overview of what you can do with WiX and should be enough to get you going.
Check them all out here.
