New to MSDN? Not sure where to start?
If you are brand new to the Microsoft Developer Network - a good place to start is here . It will guide you to the various sub sections of information that you may be searching for whether it be related to downloads, how to buy, events, partners, the community or specific developer areas. I'd also recommend signing up to the msdn flash which is a really helpful bi-weekly newsletter for Microsoft Developers. It contains all the latest relevant snippets of news and updates.
