The 2008 Learning List

Apart from the certifications I’m targetting for this half of the year, I made myself a list of things that I should learn (and use in my mini-projects) this year (in no particular order):
-
XAML (and WPF)
-
SQL Server 2008 (and the Entity Framework)
-
Rockford Lhotka’s CSLA.NET for .Net 3.5 (maybe)
I’m just waiting to get a new laptop before I can start tinkering with these. I’m not too confident of .Net 3.5’s (particularly WPF) performance on Windows XP, and on my sluggish 4 year old laptop. I should also have at least a Core 2 Duo with 3GB RAM to get Virtual PC running smoothly for server instances for Sharepoint (and play around with Windows Server 2008).
