Ebook By Microsoft For Developers

Some time back I had written about a website from Microsoft targeted towards IT Developers {You Shape} IT was started by Microsoft as a one-stop resource for IT developers, catering to designing, development & management. Over the period the guys behind the initiative have been collating a lot of articles. For some reason, they thought that it would be a great idea to put some of these articles in the form of an ebook & make it as a free download. And it’s a pretty good idea! The ebook has 16 articles (and some comic strips) under the Creative Commons license. Table of contents are:

1. Working with Brownfield Code
2. Beyond C# and VB
3. Remaining Valuable to Employers
4. All I Wanted Was My Data
5. Efficiency Upgrade
6. Getting Started with Continuous Integration
7. On Strike at the Software Factory
8. C# Features You Should Be Using
9. Accelerate Your Coding with Code Snippets
10. Is Silverlight 2 Ready for Business Applications?
11. Innovate with Silverlight 2
12. Real World WPF: Rich UI + HD
13. Hidden Talents
14. Creating Useful Installers with Custom Actions
15. Banking with XML
16. Sending Email

The articles are written by Microsoft MVPs & Regional Directors.
