Beginner Developer Learning Center

Everyone must have started learning .NET from beginning stages. Microsoft has many User groups, Boot Camps and even Fire Starter Sessions. Now, Microsoft has started a basic training for the beginner programmers who have no programming experience.

Microsoft has started a centralized learning environment specifically targeted to beginning programmers. Here you’ll find a rich array of learning content that starts with the very basics, and guides you through step-by-step to becoming a fully-fledged developer!

All lessons in the Beginner Developer Learning Center are organized into two development tracks: Windows Development and Web Development.

In addition, all Lessons are classified into Tiers or levels of difficulty to make it easier to choose the right lessons for your skill level.

Tier 1 Lessons are a great place to start if you’re brand-new to programming. Most of these lessons don’t assume any prior software development knowledge and will take the time to introduce basic concepts.

 

Tier 2 Lessons assume you understand the foundations of .NET development. These lessons will proceed at a faster pace, and cover a lot of the core concepts of Windows and Web development. By the end of these lessons, you should be able to create a basic, working application!

 

Tier 3 Lessons follow up on the skills learned in Tier 2. These lessons expand your knowledge of Windows and Web development with more advanced concepts such as data access and debugging. If you finish the Tier 3 lessons, Congratulations – you’ve graduated from the Beginner Developer Learning Center and can officially call yourself a Software Developer!

Social Bookmarking Ticker

We save all our technical favorites web links….What if Microsoft provides a social bookmarking link where you can tag all your online resources and also help others.

I recently visited http://msdnbookmarks.com . This website is for Developers and led me to some of the very interesting websites and some useful blogs. Visit the site and you would know.

You can visit any of the following sites to get started.

MSDN for Developers http://msdnbookmarks.com

TechNet for IT Professionals http://technetbookmarks.com

Expression for Designers http://expressionbookmarks.com

During the search, I have also been to somasegar’s blog and found a Silverlight app called “Ticker”, built using Silverlight 2 beta to consume the feeds of social bookmarks created by the community.  The ticker runs through recently added bookmarks and as you hover over a bookmark, the ticker will momentarily pause.

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Resources (Video and E-books)

There are many factors which are making information storage an important function of a company. Enabled by new types of information, such as digitization of images and video, and sensor information from RFID tags, the amount of digital information within an organization is mushrooming. Growing regulatory compliance and globalization require that information be stored securely and available at all times. At the same time, the cost of disk storage has dramatically decreased, enabling organizations to store more data per dollar invested. Users must quickly sift through mountains of data to find relevant information. Furthermore, they want to use this information on any device and with the programs that they use every day, such as Microsoft Office System applications. Managing this data explosion and the increase in user expectations creates numerous challenges for the enterprise.

First Visit to Shamshabad Airport

My first visit to Shamshabad Airport was really exciting. I was rearing to have a look at Shamshabad Airport from its early days. I’m extremely happy to leave for US from Shamshabad Airport. The staff in the Airport are really friendly. I had a pleasant experience in interacting with the staff. Though I had more than 3 hours for the flight after check-in, It was like just few minutes as I enjoyed the environment in the airport and was talking to the excited staff.
