Table of Contents
Over the years, I have written a fair amount of blog posts and articles of various types, and recorded a fair number of screen-casts. Those blog posts, articles, and screen-casts are spread over a number of web sites – my old MSDN blog, the MSDN web site, MSDN Magazine, OpenXMLDeveloper.org, and my personal web site here at ericwhite.com. I have compiled all of the content that I’ve written over the years from all of those sites, and categorized it here in these pages. I hope this is useful.
I am embarking on a number of writing and screen-casting projects in the near future (all fun stuff), so I needed to get this organized so that I can continue to categorize the content that I’m producing.
If you want to stay informed as I publish various blog posts, screen-casts, and what not, feel free to subscribe to this blog, or to follow me on twitter (links at the top of the page). And as each article or blog post is published, it will be automatically added to these pages.
