Diagramming Code with Workflow Foundation
Check out Scott Swigart's latest video tutorial on the Windows Workflow Foundation. WF lets you design workflows for business processes and then build apps from them. The business process is presented as a flow chart of activities that trigger your code, making it easy to follow the logic of the business process. In his example, Scott designs a console app in the workflow designer that prompts the user for a user name and password. He also demonstrates the debugging support in WF. Scott sets breakpoints in the workflow diagram and shows how stepping through the diagrams triggers the related code activities.

Project Glidepath Sponsoring MicroISV Contest
Microsoft's Project Glidepath evangelizes to small developer shops via a VS2005 add-in, the Project Glidepath Repository Manager. The add-in delivers technical and non-technical guidance about building and promoting Vista and .NET 3.0 apps. The project is currently sponsoring a "Windows Vista Spotlight" contest for microISVs. Any small-sized developer teams are invited to submit their Vista-ready killer apps for consideration. The first 30 teams to have apps selected will also receive a Zune (but you'll have to share).
