Web Directions Year round learning for product, design and engineering professionals

Late last week, Microsoft announced a new program for web designers and developers, WebSite Spark.

Included in the program are

• Microsoft Web design and development tools, including three licenses of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition, two licenses of Microsoft Expression Web 3 and one license of Microsoft Expression Studio 3
• Four processor licenses for production usage to Windows Web Server 2008 or R2 (when available) and four processor licenses for production usage to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Web Edition

Any company of up to 10 staff is eligible, and there’s no upfront cost to the program.

There’s also a student program DreamSpark, also featuring loads of free tools from Microsoft. So, any high school higher ed students, check out the program to see what’s available.

You can register online, or for those coming to Web Directions next week, head over to Microsoft’s stand at the Expo, and find out more.
