Also in this issue we go deeper into Business Intelligence, Ted Pattison takes us step by step through configuring SharePoint for Excel Services and deploying spreadsheets. Patrick Tisseghem of U2U shows us how to use User Defined Functions in Excel Services.
For those of you who are code starved, Ted also shows us how to use WSS Events in ‘Creating and Using Event Handlers in WSS 3.0’ Finally keep your eyes open for announcements on the Technology Refresh for Beta 2 of 2007 Microsoft Office release.

Amazing XAML
XAML   
.NET 3.0, formerly known as WinFx, uses XAML for describing and building object graphs. Windows Presentation Foundation (aka Avalon), for example, uses XAML for building the next generation user interfaces.
In this article we will look at the XAML syntax (which is a lot more than simply XML) by building a maze sample, such as can be found in old-fashioned adventure games like Zork.
