- http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ contains all the reference documentations you would ever need for developing on a Microsoft platform. It also contains a lot of usable sample codes.
- Got Stuck? You can post a question to the MSDN newsgroup at http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/. If you are a subscriber to MSDN, then if you post a question to MSDN’s Managed Newsgroups, someone from Microsoft Online support would reply to your post within 48 Hours. They are good and willing to research the problem for you!
- If you are developing wth Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS), http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/2/5/4250f79a-c3a1-4003-9272-2404e92bb76a/MCMS+2002+-+(complete)+FAQ.htm is an excellent resource. In my experience, it answers over 90% of my questions without reverting to MSDN Newsgroups!
- Are you developing with Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1? Stop writing your own code to do Data access, exception handling, logging, etc. Use Microsoft Enterprise Library- June 2005. For a light-weighted logging framework, use Log4Net, the .NET equivalent to the infamous Log4J from the Java community.
