Another round of very Important links, and why.

  1. PowerShell for Windows. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/management/powershell/default.mspx
    This puts batch to shame.
  2. Microsoft's The Architecture Journal
    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/arcjournal/default.aspx
    Oh come on, do I realy need to explain why you should see this?
    Seriously, being a good architect means never stop learning. This is your spot to go.
  3. Skyscrapr (Not a spelling error)
    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/skyscrapr/default.aspx
    Another architect home page. I visit this weekly.
  4. HTML Agility Pack
    http://www.codeplex.com/htmlagilitypack
    Need to read non-XML compliant HTML like XML, this is your tool.
  5. OPEN XML Developers
    http://openxmldeveloper.org/
    Yes, this is another Microsoft site, disguised as an open source site. Don't knock it though. This has some great information on the nature and schemas of the microsoft file format for Office 2007. Also, OPEN XML is not ECMA recognized.

    Side note: The hardcore open source, and open standards people are still knocking MS on this, even though MS made it an open standard. Just proves that you cannot make all of the people happy.
