Yesterday http://maps.bing.com released a site update, I must admit the simpler interface and new features are a welcome change.

But as a developer what excites me more is the release of the SDK’s. Integrating mapping technology into various web products is a huge deal and the level of integration possible with the Silvelright control is key to my excitement level (i’m such a Silverlight geek!)

To get you (and me) started I've compiled this simple set of key links that should clear up any confusion caused by the official site:

• Explore: Main Bing Maps Developer Site
• Get Access: Get a Key to use the SDK
• Download: Download the Silverlight SDK (or see the online AJAX SDK)
• Documentation: MSDN Documentation for AJAXor Silverlight (for full list including web services see here)

I look forward to see what people do with this technology, enjoy folks!
