Geeks rule!

Not only the truth, but also the name of the event I participated in Nairobi, Kenya on Nov 25.

Emmanuel, Stewart, team thanks a lot for making this happening!

What I really liked about the event - is the feeling of a real hunger for information from the community. What I didn’t like – is that I got another prove that we, as Microsoft, are not doing a good job informing out tech guys about the ways of getting information. I heard a lot of these from the audience:

1. “what do you mean I can download it publicly?”
2. “really? are these e-learnings and webcasts for free?”
3. “what forums you mention where I can ask my question? TechNet/MSDN?”

From now on I commit to make sure these MSDN links are known to all MEA developers communities I meet, talk and/or e-mail (and the same links on TechNet are known for IT Pros):

• Bits of betas/trials + activation keys https://msdn.microsoft.com/evalcenter/
• Webcasts https://www.microsoft.com/events/webcasts/
• Free E-Learnings https://learning.microsoft.com/manager/Catalog.aspx?view=free
• vLabs https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/aa570323.aspx
• How-do-I videos https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/bb629407.aspx
• Forums https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/

ppt and other stuff will be available in this post

Ping me if you have ay questions guys!

  В общем-то да. Когда нужно найти и скачать что-то конкретное, то сайты MS одно из самых запутанных и неудобных мест. По ключевым словам поиск какой только далёкой от предмета поиска "ерунды" не выдаёт. Вопросы выше возникают в т.ч. от этого. Пока найдёшь - спаму начитаешься.
