Download some free books…
Many of you will be traveling or taking vacations over the holiday season and might be looking for some content to fill up your e-readers or tablets. Microsoft Press has released quite a few e-books in the past several months that should keep you busy. My suggestion would be to start with the ones that give a good overview of the latest releases:
- Introducing Windows 8.1 for IT Professionals
- Microsoft System Center: Troubleshooting Configuration Manager
- Introducing Windows Server 2012 R2
- Introducing Microsoft System Center 2012 R2
- Introducing Windows Azure for IT Professionals
Then maybe you want to dive deeper into System Center:
- Microsoft System Center: Configuration Manager Field Experience
- System Center: Designing Orchestrator Runbooks
- Microsoft System Center: Optimizing Service Manager
- Microsoft System Center: Cloud Management with App Controller
Or if you are more of the developer type:
- Programming Windows Store Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, Second Edition (second preview)
- .NET Technology Guide for Business Applications
If you manage to get through all of those are and still looking for more, there are plenty of older ones available too:
Of course you can always buy more too :-) Happy holidays.
