WDK, Webtop Customizations – How to get started?

So a couple of days ago I decided to mend my sketchy knowledge of WDK and jump headlong into figuring it out. Instead of going the trial-and-error way I figured it would be really nice for a change to write some code and not having a monster of an error page pop out a 100 times before ultimately getting it right.Thus my quest to find some good learning resources, tutorials sort-of-thing on WDK and Documentum in general.

EMC have a great thing going at EMC Developer Network. If you are just starting out, you just cannot afford not to have an account at EMC Developer Network.A couple of really good resources for beginners that I found there :

1.Your first WDK Component series : What else but the quintessential “Hello World” as our first step.

Your First WDK Component Part 1 – Hello WDK World
Your First WDK Component Part 2 – Adding Controls
Your First WDK Component Part 3 – Using Datagrid Controls

2. Grokking the Paradigm – a WDK tutorial by Dennis Dawson. Download this whole thing, great as an overview.

3. WDK Developer Help Plugin : I know I am repeating myself , but I really cant stop ranting about it.It is comprehensive, easy to understand and as a plugin, its available as a quick reference when I want to look something up while writing code.I havent stopped using it since I installed it. Its a one stop shop for all things WDK, until I find something better.
