• Added a new web part project item and showed the Visual web part designer which loads a user control as a web part for SharePoint
• Showed adding an event receiver for SharePoint and using the wizard to choose the event receiver and to just create a source file with that event receiver.
• Added an ASPX workflow initiation form to a workflow project and showed how this workflow initiation form has designer capability
• Showed the packaging explorer and the packaging editor which lets you structure the SharePoint features and WSP file that is created
