That’s right! If you caught my early announcement post here, it’s available.. a day early!

Free E-Books for April – Early announcements!

So, here we have the following!

Windows Small Business Server 2008 Administrator’s Companion (Pro—Administrator’s Companion) by Charlie Russel and Sharon Crawford

Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition: Build a Program Now! by Patrice Pelland

Note: If you run into an issue whereby you don’t get the “save as pdf” visible when using IE (as I ran into) just access the link, and when you get to the button, just right click on it and ‘save as’ the PDF directly to your machine.  

Thanks MSLearning for the heads up!

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! :)

Yea, you heard it right! Microsoft unveils program after program to help get people jobs, keep you in jobs and ofcourse increase education and awareness, which certainly helps in the whole job scenario!

So, let me show you just what DreamSpeak has in store for you!

Well, free training and education, vouchers! books and videos!

The MCTS Free Voucher program is tied to education and being within the schooling system, so do account for that in the account you login with in order to be able to access and obtain your free voucher!  If you choose any of the various schools, it will show you what the expected address type is to look like (looks like a security risk/flaw to me.. but what’s a free voucher amongst friends! ;))

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!)

So, Incase you’ve been missing this whole trend of Free MS Press Books – Here it is again!

And incase you’ve never seen this pretty logo of it I’ll kick off with it.

It’s literally this simple, go to a page, click a link, and BAM! (after signing in) books downloaded!

What’s on the Agenda for late Feb you may ask?
