The Daily Grind 649

Ah, it's time for summer preschool to start. Off we go into the wild child zone!

Software

• TurboVBLite V3.3 - Freeware version of an add-in for VB6, including a property builder, procedure builder, template coder, word complete, and other tools. (via Programmers Heaven)

Information

• The Bloggers Guide to BizTalk - All the info you could ever want about BizTalk, built into a help file with pointers back to online. (via Owen Allen)
• Project Aardvark Revealed - Christopher Hawkins has apparently tracked down the secret Fog Creek summer intern project.
• TechEd 2005 - Visual Studio 2005 Team System Presentations - Lots of PowerPoint slides for your viewing pleasure. (vis Rob Caron)
• MS Office XML Formats Not OK with GNU - So, the Office 12 XML file format license is most likely incompatible with the GPL. This is not surprising. And, despite the protests from the Microsoft spokesman, I expect it's by design.

Community

• To CTP or not to CTP, that is the question - SearchVB.com offers me the soapbox again, and I take it.
