On SharePoint Solutions and Features

So back in July of last year (2007), I promised to post some tutorials and walk-throughs about creating SharePoint solution packages (also known as WSP files) using some extensions for Visual Studio 2005. Almost a year later, I haven’t done it. This is because I everytime I started working on a tutorial I found that there are so many options and decisions that need to be made to create a proper package. I still plan on posting about it soon, however, I think I will start with some simpler tutorials to explain how to organize and scope the features that are contained in the solution. In any case, I just wanted to let everyone know that I haven’t forgotten about my promise and why it has taken so long to get around to it.
