Folks have been posting Longhorn code samples on their blogs, which is great. Also, I’ve been collecting bigger code samples on the Longhorn Developer Center on the Tools & Code Samples section as well as with the PDC talks.

Also, I just noticed a Longhorn sample in the unedited section of CodeProject.com, one of my favorite user contribution sites.

Of course, you can post your sample on GotDotNet.com using the Longhorn category and there are already a coupla GDN Longhorn samples for your edification.

I'm a big Rory Blyth fan, so I'm downloading this show as I type this. Enjoy.

Ian Griffiths shows some of the basics of XAML, including complex properties and how code is generated and integrated behind the scenes.

Devleap.com, a site dedicated to Windows development for Italian developers, has added a new Longhorn section. Even though I can't read Italian, I like the idea of Longhorn articles in a language of romance. Read them with your sweetheart over a candle lit dinner. I know that's my plan. : )

Robert Wlodarczyk posts another sample dedicated to showing off the glowing image effects in Avalon. Sweet.

Robert Wlodarczyk, a software engineer on the Avalon testing team, has posted a most excellent sample showing off the wide variety of effects you can apply to images in Avalon. Very cool.

In talking about recent developments at Microsoft, Mary Jo sums up my own feelings nicely:

“Windows is cool again, thanks to all the excitement around Longhorn.”

But I’m hardly unbiased. : )

Brad Abrams, Lead PM on the .NET Framework team, is asking how you’d like to see Microsoft improve the WinFX documentation. Don't be shy; complaining now can improve your life later.
