Just a note that learndevnow is currently on sale at $99
Ahhh.. I now see that the sample code is extra, pushing the cost to what you said.
>I think it is worth the money for just what is there now on WPF, Silverlight, SQL Server and SSIS. There will be a ton of further VS2010 / .net 4.0 coming soon so all that comes free in the year subscription. I don't think you'll be disappointed. The sample apps are very well constructed for learning. The AppDev stuff is very professionally designed to teach as opposed to show you how smart the presenter is ( Devcon speakers could take note <bg> )
