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

    Learn from the mistakes of others - you won't live long enough to make them all yourself.

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

    Click here 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
