A short quiz Do I need to continuously learn and stay a top valued professional? Yes No Will my company pay a lot of money for my learning? Ok, how should I learn then? O_o On my own mistakes On successes of competitors From free resources of MSDN such as (Webcasts, vLabs, eLearning, blogs, forums, Channel9 and many more..)

Microsoft offer for Tech Community Get the bits – for free Get trained – for free Get supported – for free Get paid … Get MSDN+ and get even more!

Ways to get trained Events – yes, like this where you saw this ppt Webcasts – exactly like this event, but online E-Learnings and vLabs – the same like lab class, but online (and free!*) How-do-I videos and Channel9- when you don’t have time for all above)
