Free Silverlight learning course

Ok, super quick 2 “yes-no” questions, my friends..

  1. Is your boss willing to pay for your learning at professional IT-courses?
  2. Does your boss expect that you stay top-notch professional and be better than other professionals available on the market?

The more I travel and see the impact of financial crisis on the IT-industry, the more that there in almost no exceptions from “1. No, never again. 2. Yes, of course”

I’m really glad that my colleagues in Redmond understand the market conditions and (which is more important) understand needs of the IT-community.
