The day after the geek dinner Scott Hanselman and I sat down to chat about developing for Windows Media Center for Hanselminutes 82. The result is a pretty nice introduction to what you need for development, the tools included in the SDK, some of the samples which are included in the SDK and some basic beginner concepts. I posted is a detailed list of links which corresponds to the various topics we covered during the podcast over on Sandbox at http://blog.mediacentersandbox.com/Hanselminutes82DevelopmentForMediaCenter.aspx.
