This looks like a great option to learn SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010 development while earning college credit at a well known University in Chicago.

It is rare to see universities offering classes on very current technologies not to mention offering college credit for a very current version and the future version of SharePoint.

The SharePoint 2010 Developer Platform wall poster (PDF format) shows a colorful view of SharePoint 2010 developer tools, community ecosystem, execution environment, SharePoint Server 2010 workloads, and target application types. The poster is intended to be printed at 24 inches x 36 inches (61 centimeters x 91 centimeters).

This is a great wall poster.
Potential uses would be an alternate view of the tools and resources needed besides that usual “Buckets” or “SharePoint Wheel” graphics used in many Microsoft PowerPoint presentations.
