Welcome New Microsoft Student Partners

I recently had the opportunity to meet with Microsoft Ireland’s new team of Student Partners.  They were incredibly enthusiastic, and I’m looking forward to the great things they’re planning on doing over the next school year.

I talked to the students about as much as I could cram into a little over an hour.  So we did a brief overview of Silverlight (they even got a sneak preview of the Silverlight NBC Olympics application!), talked about XNA and game development and lastly walked through a bit about Popfly.

I promised everyone I would post links and slides, and so here they are.

• Slides for “Silverlight for Students” overview: http://www.slideshare.net/martharotter/silverlight-for-students-presentation/ 
• Home of all things Silverlight: http://www.silverlight.net
• Silverlight Showcase: http://silverlight.net/showcase/ 
• XNA Team Blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/xna/ 
• XNA Creators Club: http://creators.xna.com/

If there is any other information anyone needs about topics we covered, please let me know.  See you all soon, and don’t hesitate to drop me an e-mail if there’s anything I can do to help you this year.
