TechNet Web Casts

 

Sybex (my publisher) arranged for me to do a couple of Microsoft TechNet web casts (without pay). So far, this has been a lot of work, but a pretty good experience. The audiences have been really nice and I have gotten excellent feedback from the attendees after the fact. This page is an index of links, presentations, and documents that I have mentioned in these web casts.
