Friends of Redmond, start your engines! Today we're launching our .NET developer center to help you kick start development with the Microsoft .NET Framework and Yahoo! services. We even threw in some XAML love for all you budding Windows Presentation Foundation devs. Feel the urge to use Browser-Based Authentication with ASP.NET? No problem, we've hooked you up with an easy to use class that will get you rolling onto the road of glory in no time. All the samples are available in C# and VB.NET online and in a downloadable Sample Browser application (with source, no less!).

Also, we've got a brand spankin' new Yahoo! group: ydn-dotnet. Join, ask, contribute, and let us know what we can do to help.
