There are many resources for professional developers, but let's talk about tools for all of you who are writing software just for fun. Maybe you have found yourself coding your pet project at 4 a.m., up to your elbows in pizza boxes and soda cans. MSDN gives back to the entry-level and hobbyist developer community with this series of free webcasts. Tune in and learn the basics of database, Windows client, Web, game, and hardware development using Microsoft Visual Studio and SQL Server Express Editions. If you're new to coding, we suggest you start at either Windows or Web development.
