Cash in on Visual Studio 2005 e-learning discounts

In addition to all the other things Microsoft does to support its developers, the company offers a broad range of training services aimed squarely at developers as well. Right now, in fact, you can get a 30% discount on all Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 E-learning courses (at least, if you're in North America, where this discount applies).

As you'll shortly see, this covers a broad range of offerings and you're likely to find one or more such courses of at least potential interest. In most cases, courses cost less than $140 or just a little over $200, and a surprising number of them are free. This offer expires on August 31, 2006, so you'd better check it out and sign up quickly. Once ordered, you can wait up to one year to take any class for which you sign up -- you're actually buying a one-year subscription to the training materials, rather than a single-use license.

E-Learning courses are subdivided by category and will be listed as such here as well, alo

Special offers also available currently include courses that deal with ASP.NET Web applications -- upgrading from VB 6.0 to the .NET Framework, going asynchronous by using multi-threading with VS 2005, and building and consuming simple XML Web services with VS 2005. The Web page says all these items are free; even though the offer expired on June 30, 2006, the links are still live, and you can still sign up for a one year subscription at no charge. Better act fast, though, because these leftovers can't last too much longer. Enjoy!
