The one golden rule of vacations: they're never long enough. After a brief rest and some relaxation, I am back into the swing of things at work, and back to writing this column.
What better way to start things off after a break than with some high-quality, free training from AppDev? You can work through
ASP.NET 2.0 training for "Atlas" or spend some time learning about
BizTalk 2006, via download or CD-ROM. Each of these free, three-hour courses is a US$125 value.
So I hear from some of you that training is great, but that it's summer and time to get out and meet other people.
MSDN Events are a great chance to do that very thing. They're free, live sessions designed to enhance your coding skills and make your life a little easier. You'll always get up-to-the-minute technology, and lots of time to ask questions. Chat with your fellow developers, find out about the latest developments, and learn how to create rich new applications that exceed even your own tough standards. Check out
www.msdnevents.com for more information and to find local events in your neighborhood. (If you're away from home on vacation and get the urge to do something technical - or just get away from your kids for the day - you can attend an MSDN event in your vacation town.)
Looking for some good airp*** or poolside reading? Why no download a free copy of
Visual Studio .NET Tips and Tricks. It's a terrific how-to guide that covers all three versions of the product.
And don't forget to check out all the great content in
MSDN Magazine. You can either subscribe to the print edition or read it online.
Happy Coding!
