Beauty of Web

IE9 has really impressed a lot of users. This version of IE has lot of features compared to the previous versions. The use of CSS3, JQuery, and HTML5 in IE9 runs everything smoothly. I visited a site Beauty of Web where it has listed some amazing sites that are really beautiful. I am wondering what else is remaining to do in the thin client. Rich graphics and so responsive performance of IE9 is really great. To browse these sites you need IE9 or any other browsers that support HTML5 and CSS3. Some sites will take time to download its content (It depends upon your internet speed) so be patient.

Internet Explorer 9

Here are some great features of IE9 which make it different from other browsers:
Pin sites to the taskbar
You can access websites that you visit regularly by pinning them to the taskbar on your Windows 7 desktop.
Search in the Address bar
You can now search directly from the Address bar. If you enter a website's address, you'll go directly to the website. If you enter a search term or incomplete address, you'll launch a search using the currently selected search engine. Click the address bar to select your search engine from the listed icons or to add new ones.

Free Videos From LearnVisualStudio.NET

You will get some free videos if you subscribe to Learnvisualstudio. You can also visit the site for more free videos. I have subscribed and got the following videos in my mail. There are lots of good videos in this site but you have to pay for this.  
1.     Introduction to Anonymous Delegates
After reviewing How to Create and Use Regular Delegates, this video explains the concept of creating anonymous delegates, when to use them and when not to, and explains the concept of closure for retrieving the state and scope of the anonymous delegate at instantiation for use upon its invocation. (Anonymous delegates are not available in Visual Basic 8.x or earlier.)

2.     Introduction to Generics
Generics allow you to create flexible data structures that are strongly typed. This video compares the System.Collections.ArrayList class versus its generic replacement, the System.Collections.Generic.List, explaining exactly why generics are the prefered way to add stability to your collections by catching situations where objects of the wrong type are being added to your collections at compile time.

3.     Designing Relational Database Tables
Why are relational databases the most popular? Differentiate between primary and foreign keys. Design relational database tables and learn about normalization rules and de-normalization.

4.     Understanding Security and Network Connectivity
Differentiate between database files and SQL Server processes. Explore scenarios for connecting to SQL Server Express databases, enabling and disabling user instances, login permissions, and other security precautions.

5.     Introduction to Version Control in Visual Studio Team System: Branching
Branching is a feature of Version Control that allows the development team to work on two distinct copies of the project at the same time. In this video we talk about scenarios where you would want to branch and how to do it from VSTS Version Control.

6.     Introduction to Version Control in Visual Studio Team System: Workspaces
A workspace is your client-side copy of the files and folders in the repository. When you add, edit, delete, move, rename, or otherwise manage any source-controlled item, your changes are persisted, or marked as pending changes, in the workspace. This video demonstrates the ins and outs of working with workspaces.

7.     Introduction to Version Control in Visual Studio Team System: Diffing
Diffing is the process of determining the differences between two files that were originally based on the same file and you want to merge the two source code files together back into one file. This video demonstrates how VSTS Version Control walks you through this process.
