Scot Hillier’s blog post inspired me to compile a similar list of all the MSDN code samples my team and I have been working on for Microsoft over the last few months.  Two of the 17 samples we created have been published so far, with more soon to come.  Here’s a list of the code samples and apps we have created and links to the published samples.  As the samples are published on MSDN I’ll update this list.

Many of the samples in this list came from work we did for the Microsoft Developer Platform Evangelism (DPE) team during the early beta stages of SharePoint 2013 and they have also landed (in part or in another form) in Microsoft training classes and conference sessions.

I hope you enjoy the samples and find them useful as you learn many of the new patterns and APIs associated with SharePoint 2013 / O365 / Azure / SQL Azure / Cloud / MVC / Windows 8 development.
