|
|
The Help file delivered with the product is over simplistic and useful for about five minutes.
The SDK is by contrast very detailed and will be useful for a long time. The examples are good but there are not enough of them. (The items the examples cover are listed in FAQ2 as"III.10.1 What questions are answered by the Examples in the SDK ?")
(one line)
Microsoft has other useful documents on their web site (mostly in TechNet).

Note: There are no books available that concentrate solely on STS. Several FP books have a chapter re-hashing MS basic material. This book has 50 pages on STS and is perhaps people's best bet at the moment (Nov. 2002) if they feel they need a book to get started.
The recommendation here of this book is however for all its content - i.e. the FP parts too.
