Mise en place is a French cooking term that essentially means “everything in place”. Cooking is so much easier when all the prep work is done and all the ingredients are within easy reach. 

If you’re new to Azure, I hope my little “resources en place” will make your day a little easier.

Here’s a few links for IE8 that you might find useful.

When I speak with partners, they often express exasperation in trying to find information on our websites. I can empathize with that frustration. It’s difficult for me to find useful information as well.  That’s why I wanted to point you to to Bruno Terkaly’s Blog that has a list of resources, tools and downloads  (i.e. Silverlight, WPF, Videos, HOL etc.) .  Bruno is a great Developer Evangelist based in Northern California and I encourage you to visit his site. If you attended the Silicon Valle Pro Dev Briefing earlier this month, he was the presenter for the Live Mesh Platform Services Discussion.

I’m frequently asked about what sites partners should visit.  I created this resource slide to make finding information a little easier. I hope it helps.
