I'm incredibly disappointed that they didn't include unit tests with the Music Store tutorial. Horrible decision as it promotes less than ideal development practices.

>Agreed. They are too close to the technology and too far removed from the "real world". Another example is the ASP.Net MVC Music Store. As someone new to web development, it left me totally confused. It provided no understanding of how MVC worked or why you do things the way you do them in MVC.

>>IMHO the MS dev team staff is the worst as far as giving tutorials or trainings. Recently I wanted to watch the intro/tutorial on EF. The guys who were doing the talk (I forgot the site but I picked it up here from one of the gurus on ASP.NET). Anyway, these two gurus/geeks started the talk on listing all the new features in the latest update. Completely confusing to the newbie. I turned them off after only 5 min of listening. It was very disappointing. Now if I see anywhere that the training or presentation is given by MS dev team person, to me this is a signal to skip them.
