Kent

Well, that's done. The last few weeks have definitely been "interesting".

I've been involved in the launch of two new sites for MSDN: Oslo and Azure (and the WCF REST Starter Kit, but that's just a few pages). It's meant a lot of meetings (remotely), converting numerous documents using various internal tools (each with their own quirks), re-encoding videos, and loads of email. Hopefully the sites will be helpful and informative. Let me know if not.

Chris has the welcome message, but I figured I'd take some time to point out a few of the highlights (at least in my view) of the site.

Getting started with Oslo:

• First things first, I imagine you'll want the bits. Usual warnings apply (don't put this on a machine you don't feel like flattening -- I don't *think* it will affect anything, but I've gotten old and cranky about Betas lately).
• Second things second, read David Chappell's overview article. It provides a nice grounding in the concepts
• For those who learn visually, start chewing on the videos that the team have been generating.
• Last things last (for now). If we're missing something on the site, let me know. If you're an author and want to write some kicking Oslo content, let me know. If you've got a blog that covers Oslo and want me to watch it, well... you know.
