Free Visual Studio 2005 Training from Microsoft

I've used some of their e-learning materials before, and found them helpful.  YMMV

I love Visual FoxPro.  I love .NET too, but the platform hasn't had time to develop really interesting historical quirks.  VFP is increadibly backwards compatable.  I was reminded of this again today while reading the WIKI.  I saw this little command that moves the project manager outside of the VFP IDE and onto the taskbar.  Not terribly exciting until you consider the syntax, which comes from a time when FoxPro ran on DOS, UNIX, Mac and Windows.

Priceless!
