Developing Advanced User Experiences

Some useful tips I picked up at the 2011 SharePoint Conference (Wellington) was on how to create advanced user experiences. This would include creating custom pages/controls with the SAME standard SharePoint look and feel. e.g.
would create a custom tool bar button with the default SharePoint look and feel. The following are the main references you would need on your custom page to make the controls work and render:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="wssuc" TagName="ToolBar" src="~/_controltemplates/ToolBar.ascx" %> 
<%@ Register TagPrefix="wssuc" TagName="ToolBarButton" src="~/_controltemplates/ToolBarButton.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="wssuc" TagName="InputFormSection" src="~/_controltemplates/InputFormSection.ascx" %> 
<%@ Register TagPrefix="wssuc" TagName="InputFormControl" src="~/_controltemplates/InputFormControl.ascx" %> 
<%@ Register TagPrefix="wssuc" TagName="ButtonSection" src="~/_controltemplates/ButtonSection.ascx" %>
