On my birthday, Glen Block, blogged about a new developer course geared to SharePoint AND developers, what a gift!  Now when people ask me how to get started with SharePoint development I can send them to https://www.microsoftelearning.com/eLearning/offerDetail.aspx?offerPriceId=119608  Well he didn't really do it for me but it's a very nice coincidence!

I was just chatting with a friend of mine Glenn and he pointed out a couple of really cool resources.

There is a 2 hour course on AJAX.  Don't get me started - I was doing this a long time ago, when it didn't have a cool name like AJAX, now it's the next big thing.  AJAX is great, but like all technologies there's a time and place for everything.  I'll leave that for another post.

Back in October they released 6 hours on .NET 3.0.  It's 3 courses, 2 hours each, on Windows Presentation Foundation (wpf), Windows Communication Foundation (wcf) and Work Flow (wf).  The e-learning has had over 60,000 activations since its release
