Happy Holidays, and this gift is wrapped and ready for Christmas and Hanukkah!
Every so often I get asked by people for help improving their skills, making them more marketable as well as ways to get access to training and resources.
And more often than not, I lead them in directions with the huge cost of $0.00 associated with it. Whether you’re looking for Certification, access to Labs, E-Books, or Training information.
I’m a BIG fan of Free!
So, can you afford freE-Learning?
Thanks to our friends at Microsoft, here is another resource available to you!
By visiting this lovely site, it will display all of the available courses being offered by Microsoft Learning for Free!
What relevant topics are available on there at the moment:
…And more!
Seriously, there is a motherload of information here, so much training to wrap your teeth into!
If you saw my previous post about the voucher to get the Hyper-V training for free, this training is very complimentary to that and more! (Especially since that voucher seems to be faulty at the moment)
So get out there, get yourself something Free for this season. It’s your education, do something about it!
Raise your hands up and praise Joanne Lin of the MSLCommunity for bringing us these little gems! (Gem1 and Gem2 ! :)) [Time for some verbatim copying!…kind of!]

I’ve had this particular site tagged for quite a while, but never got around to letting people who didn’t know about it (yet read this) know about it.
Manybooks has quite an assortment of books, available in a number of formats!
The typical way I would work with this site is, download a bunch of files into a directory, slap in one of my SD cards, and then copy the files down to the SD card – Put it into my Kindle and BAM! I now have all of those books available and ready for me on the Kindle!
Very little work on my part, it’s a win-win situation all around!
This site has an amazing assortment of books, including most if not all of the Project Gutenberg library as well. I highly encourage you to check it out, whether you have a kindle, iphone, pc or any other method in which you’d like to read an assortment of books – You may be surprised at what is available!
