I’ve been told by multiple IT Pros that the TechNet properties are very useful. But they feel really big and it’s sometimes hard to find things. This is why I try as much as I can to let you know when I find hidden treasures.
Today I found, completely by accident I might add, a collection of free E-Book. They cover ASP.NET, Office, SQL Server, Windows Azure, SharePoint Server and other Microsoft technologies in e-book formats.
These e-book are available in multiple formats. Such as EPUB MOBI and PDF.
the original location of this collection can be found here. And I understand that this list gets updated regularly.
I thought you may find this of use.
Cheers!
