New Windows Developer Related Content from Microsoft

Last week it looked like the Microsoft Developer team had begun a new process of providing users a recap of each week's developer related news about resources, APIs and other tools that are useful to someone in the Windows stack and it appears that is the case with the release of their latest weekly wrap up.

Here is a summary of those announcements but in the future you can grab them directly from the Building Apps for Windows blog. Just add that site to your blog or RSS reader to stay up to date on the latest developer related news from Microsoft.
