Hello developers.
I hope you had a great Canada Day. Summer is a time of vacation and
relaxation and it is a great time also to learn new things. You can
read a book by the pool or bring your Zune on a plane to watch some
podcasts and stay current that way. But there are some new resources
available as well. I wanted to point out that in June we had Tech-Ed in
Orlando and they launched a new portal full of information that might
be of interest to you. Follow
this link for more details.
|
At Tech Ed, they also
re-launched the Ramp Up
web site ,which is an amazing source of great learning content based
on different roles. You just choose which role best describe you and
you'll get a list full of training and webcast to help you
"RAMP-UP".
On a final note, we are getting ready for a great fall line-up of
activities for you and we'd love to hear your feedback. If you attended
an event online or offline and you'd like to share your experience with
us or if you have great ideas for us to improve, please pass them on to
us by emailing msdnteam@microsoft.com.
Thank you for your continued support, enjoy your summer and don't get too
many sunburn.
