I used to subscribe to Sara Ford’s Visual Studio Tip of the Day RSS feed. She stopped that series after 350-some odd tips. I am less interested in her current work within CodePlex. This morning, I realized I hadn’t actually read any of her posts in weeks even though that is my start-up page in Visual Studio. So what should I be looking at? What are the big MSDN feeds that I actually care about? I found a short list of feeds (below). I ended up subscribing to the Visual C# feed. Safe. Boring. We’ll see how it goes. I’m half-way tempted to write my own aggregator, but the sloth factor is a bit too high today. Plus, I have 3 other “real” projects waiting in the queue.

One thing high on my “need to learn” list is printing. Coming from a Web background, I have never needed to print things. The browser handled all of that. Throw in a printer targeted CSS (if needed) and that’s it. In WinForms is takes a bit more effort. So I’m reading through the chapters on Graphics in my Essential C# book. I find it interesting that neither my C# Cookbook or my Programming C# books contain any information on printing. Hmm…

Here are those feeds.
