A visual how to I worked on has recently been published on MSDN. The video, Creating Custom SharePoint 2010 Service Applications and Consumers, demonstrates how to create custom SharePoint 2010 service applications for robust, scalable, and fault tolerant shared services.

An article I worked on has recently been published on MSDN. The article, Debugging and Logging Capabilities in SharePoint 2010 helps you learn about the new logging and debugging capabilities in SharePoint Foundation 2010 that enable developers to build more reliable and testable solutions.

An article I worked on has recently been published on MSDN. The article, Team-Based Development in SharePoint 2010, shows how to implement a team-environment custom development of SharePoint 2010 projects by using Visual Studio 2010 and SharePoint Designer 2010.
