Microsoft Press 25th Anniversary “Free E-Book of the Month” Offers This will be our last month to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Microsoft Press with a free e-book offer. This monthly offer can be found in the top right corner of this monthly newsletter. It expires on June 24, 2009, so download the e-books today:
Yes indeed, there will be 2 new books this month, but the links to download them will not work until April 15th! So you’ll need to try the links again then!
As soon as they’re available, I’ll update this post with pictures to them as I usually do! Which also is a good way to ensure there aren’t any issues downloading them like past books (Let’s not forget the massive Vista Resource kit from before :))
So keep on the look out and more free books coming soon! :)
Just go there, sign up and monthly you’ll receive an email which has the latest free E-books from the MS Press Team! Caveat: the books are typically only available for 5-7 days at a time – so you should act as soon as you get the emails!
Every wanted to try out a product you’ve never installed, or even downloaded. Or you want to learn a new application, or even Programming language. The Microsoft Virtual Labs are the perfect solution there. They include not only immediately available applications for you to test in a real lab environment, but they also have ‘training labs’ so you can go through an educational process in order to learn the material. The best part is, you’re not bound by the material either – So if you want to think outside the box of training you can, but if you’re not sure what to learn they provide guidance there!
We’re still waiting for the launch of more Beta Certification exams and other/more free stuff, but definitely take advantage of the resources above as they’re infinitely useful!
If you like me get errors when you click Well, here is a way around that, so you can get what you expect, and not have to suffer through a lack of download!
Simply right click on the “Download E-Book” icon, and just “Save Link As” or whatever you see in your browser of choice (FF or IE).
It will pull down as a pdf_loader.pl, so you’ll need to rename it, but it should work fine.
(Just completed the download myself, and it works! Hooray!)
If you’re even remotely interested in these technologies, free stuff, books, reading, future certification and anything else – this is the deal for you!
To keep up to date of deals like this, you can subscribe to the Microsoft Press Connection Newsletter.
Happy Holidays, and this gift is wrapped and ready for Christmas and Hanukkah!
