May want to actually read the thread you're replying to....

As for me, I got mine today as well.... had no idea it came with a book. Will probably actually read it. *sees himself falling back into programming land*

If you've not done JSP, PHP or Coldfusion, but want to learn ASP.NET 2.0 will these webcasts be confusing?

Mine arrived today... The Exam Voucher (50% off) is only off 70-528 Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Web-Based Client Development. But that's ok, I'm pretty sure that's one I needed anyway. BUT it expires 5/31 so I'm going to have to jump on doing it!

Installing VS 2005 as I type this. NOT a small program.

Got the package last week. I get VS2005 Pro free from the school, so no big deal for me, but nice anyway.

I just wish they had more C# or C++ webcasts. If anyone has a link, please post them.

I found it a lot more useful than going to my sch lecture on ASP... I hope I can save those webcasts and view them later.

Anyway, before viewing 3, it already said "Your gift has been shipped to..", so I am not sure if they still have them or soemthing

Wow, jumped on it on the last day. Thank you guys so much. I been looking for Asp stuff and this site is awesome. Not only do you get webcasts but you get a book and the software! Asp is really in demand here and I been wanted to jump on it.

Does anybody know how to activate debugging in VS 2005? When I start debugging it says "debugging info not included in binary file"

I just got mine. I got an ASP.NET book with the 2 cds (VS Standard) and 1 dvd (msdn). Also a coupon for $400 off a professional MSDN license and 50% off a certification test. Pretty sweet for free.

I don't have it in front of me, but I thought I remember 4 discs... 3 black and 1 white.


On the $400 off... The regular price is $1195 for Pro w/msdn sub. The "upgrade" from Std to Pro is $795. We have $400 off vouchers does that mean we can get it for $395 or just the same $795 as the "std to pro w/sub" deal? Anyone done it?

You can search for webcasts at: http://www.microsoft.com/events/AdvSearch.mspx

There are quite a few on-demand and not so many live.
