I'm developping windows applications with WPF since 1 year .. I want to get started with MVVM pattern.
What are excatly all things I should get Hands-on to start MVVM pattern comfortably ?
(Any Interesting Links are Welcome)
Here's 2 instructional video links I usually give out that helped me get started:

In the end you'll most likely migrate to one of the well built MVVM frameworks that do a lot of the dirty work for you like this one that I currently use:

It is important to first learn how to hand roll your own MVVM frameworks for your apps, then you can move on to one of the pre-built frameworks to save you a lot of time.

I'm new to MVC and am still adjusting to the drastic switch from WebForms. I was a bit happy when I found that the idea of ready-made components is not totally gone when I found http://nuget.org/packages/TinyMCE.JQuery, a nuget package that installs an HTML editor component such that it just takes the addition of a UIHint attribute to use it.
My question is where do I go to find more things like this which will help me get closer to the level of efficiency I got used to with WebForms/AjaxToolkit (not withstanding my obvious need to keep learning MVC best practices)?
The nice thing about MVC is you don't need server controls, you now have the freedom to use anything HTML/CSS/JS

There's tons of stuff in NuGet, just go searching at NuGet.org

I have spent some time reading wiki and Virtual Machines by James Smith and Ravi Nair.
I know that Virtualization is (in layman's term) enacting the behaviour or performance of something.
Now it so happens that I have to make a presentation on virtualization technology. I will have to implement a small working model also.
I am a decent Java coder with experience in C#.NET, JSP, ASP.NET, Ruby, Perl and MSSql. Virtualization is very much new to me. Hence I don't know which tools to use, what material to refer(for practicals) and so on.
My interest is anything that has a good coding-knowledge requirement. I would love to do something in Java or C#. Can anyone please suggest a project that can be achieved by a team of 2 in around two months?

I've been looking for a nice convention based MVVM framework, I've looked at NakedMVVM, which seems to be along the lines of what I'm after.
But can there really be only one? What other options are available?
We just started using Caliburn.Micro and I've found it very impressive. It is incredibly lightweight (under 3,000 lines of code in all), but includes some features that really simplify common MVVM tasks.
For a complete breakdown of just about every MVVM framework, check this out. It's a Silverlight app that lists all of the well-known frameworks and compares them side-by-side.

In simple, practical terms, what does Prism offer, and is it worth it? My experience of MS's application development frameworks - Enterprise Library for example - is that they're generally overly complex, heavyweight, and force you to couple your application to components that don't offer a huge amount and can't easily be switched out later.
What are peoples' opinions and experiences of using Prism in the real world?
Yes PRISM is good as it gives the application and independence being able to change front end either in wpf or silverlight without the change of backend but for this independence developement team needs a huge amount of time and in practical business oriented environment you don't get that much of time. But if time is in your side then you can develop using PRISM as application will be really flexible.

What is the best pattern for instrumentation. I have an application and i want to be able to track metrics on everytime a users does a number of functions in the app (brings up a form, views a certain feature, etc) but i dont want to have code all over the application that is doing this instrumentation. what are my options here?
At the end of the day, i want to be able to aggregate data across multiple users listing out metrics.
I've been investigating doing something very similar (for an anonymous stats-collection library... kind of like Google Analytics, but for desktop apps. If you're interested, check out the GUI mockup here.)
Anyhow... for .NET, I've been looking at a few aspect-oriented libraries that provide dynamic and static instrumentation. I'm not sure whether they'll fit the bill yet (I haven't written any code yet; I've just started researching the libs). But here are a few prospects:

Good luck!
