These videos discuss some of the new features that will be available in Visual Studio.NET 2005 Beta, codenamed Whidbey.

This ship has sailed …

This webpage describes a single series/course, each course containing many screencast videos. HOWEVER …

This series/course has been removed from our collection, probably because we have updated it with a newer version.

Read why I decided to keep old pages like this around. Or better yet, visit the home page … its the best place to get started.
