>>I've previously mentioned Learndevnow.com which has all the AppDev training videos and sample code for $99 a year. My only complaint is DRM and a somewhat clunky interface, but the value is great.

>>Finally plunked down another $99 for my first month of Pluralsight access ( also including sample code ) and I have to say I am very impressed. I know Naomi is also a fan and I believe Kevin and Craig and others here know a lot of the authors of the Pluralsight material. Unlike LearnDevNow, which lets you use two boxes (not at the same time) with IE and employs DRM ( which can get wonky ), the Pluralsight stuff can be accessed from any web connection with pretty much any browser and uses a very smooth and easy to use Silverlight viewer. ( still single user license, just that the user can access it from any box any time)

>>Very nice selection of stuff at Pluralsight. Julia Lerman does their EF stuff, and right now I'm doing Scott Allen's C# course (over 6 hours) Lots and lots on SQL server, Linq, Sharepoint, WCF, WF, even 2 hours on Windows 7 phone.

They have some good stuff on the newer technologies as well as some short how to things on little tricks and tips.

In the C# course I picked up some very nice stuff about using the Test Project to learn about how some of the .NET stuff behaves, and he uses that for demo instead of console apps, which I've always hated. Good way to get a handle on the test project as well.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
