Over the past several months I have been giving a presentation on getting started with Visio Services. Each time I give the presentation I get asked for a collection of links that people can use to get additional information. In this blog post I just wanted to pull together a summary of those resources so that you can reference them as you dig deeper into Visio Services. I am sure that there are many more resources than the ones that I am listing, so if you know of any ones that I should add please respond with a comment and I can update my post.

This is a step by step example of how you connect list data with a Visio diagram. When you add them both to the page the values in the list web part will be filtered based on the selection you make in the Visio diagram. |

This is a step by step example of having shapes in a Visio diagram overlaid with status indicators. |
I hope that you will find these links helpful! Two of the blog posts are step by step examples of what I have presented in my session, I hope over time to add some more blog posts that show step by step the rest of my examples from my session and I also hope to eventually incorporate some screencasts. I will be sure to update my blog post once I have those generated. For now, these links should help you get started
