[TheGuvnor]

My first freebie, so be gentle ;)

I have just signed up to this, and it does appear to do what it says on the tin. So, for all you techies (myself included!!!), here is the blurb I got....

For a limited time only, Microsoft Learning is offering Developing Microsoft ASP.NET Web Applications with Visual Studio.NET, a 17-hour self-paced online training course, for free ($349.00 value).

Hurry, this offer is only valid for a limited time!

Apparently, the course that is in my e-learning folder is valid until 12th October !

Is this not an MCP only offer?

[TheGuvnor]

No, you can just choose "No" at that screen, and it still accepts your course ! :)

[Pimp Cat]

No, i aint a MCP but i just signed up for a sql and asp.net course. shame there aint a vb.net course as well.

I got an error sayig that access code had already been used and can only get used once

[TheGuvnor]

How odd ! It was OK for me, and I suppose everyone on the website I got it from, and the people furhter up on this post :confused:

If someone else could give it a go ?

[lucidamike]

I was able to register and get the course added to my library ok - how do you get any other courses ?

[TheGuvnor]

It looks like they do more than just this one course FOC at the minute.

Click here (https://www.microsoftelearning.com/catalog/default.aspx) to see whats on offer. Admittedly, some of them are chargeable, but there are some on there that are free !

Maybe mods could change the title of this thread to "Free ASP and other courses from Microsoft" or something like that ??

Thanks, I think I added the course and did the assesment for ASP.NET just to see if it was worth me undertaking it.... As I only have small brain power for Pascal and Visual Basic, I didnt think I'd fair well, I didnt, lol, I got 28% so I have decided to give it a miss, but thank you anyway. I'll stick to what I know best, everything else lol

[rharper83]

Its the same code that I got in my MCP email newsletter, so chances are it will work for everyone without any problems what-so-ever. I didn't even think of posting it on here, so good thinking of you to do that :)

Yeah, there are loads of good courses available :)

Wouldnt work for me :(

Has anyone actually downloaded this to work on offline? Is that an option - only asking because I signed up ages ago but have been so busy at work that I haven't had time to spend on it and I don't want it expiring on me..

[Munki]

I've downloaded the content to work on it offline, but I think the expiry date still stands - you have to complete the course by a certain date. However, having it offline seemed a good thing, so I did it anyway ;-)

Munki.

[Mikeboy]

Do you get a certificate at the end / anything to 'show for it' ??

Thanks

How did you download it please Munki?

I am not worried about getting the certificate - I just want to use the course to learn when i get a break from my current web work (whenever that may be) so as long as it doesn' jsut stop working on 12th October I will be ok!

[Mikeboy]

Thanks, just registered for the ASP course.

Expires 29th November :)
