Microsoft has released a new site of resources for people working on the MS Platform who are looking to improve their skills, get a job, or get involved in the community. Here is a blurb from their Marketing department:
"Are you being asked to tackle new development tasks? Struggling to implement unfamiliar scenarios with tight budgets and timelines? Looking for a job? Thrive for a developer is a one-stop community hub that delivers the resources you need to succeed in today’s tough economy. We’ve got career advice, training programs, job postings, event listings and a wide range of tools that can help you stand out and get ahead. We’ll be refreshing the site regularly, so visit Thrive today. "
Yep, sounds like marketing, BUT, the site isn't that way. There are links to a lot of other resource sites for specific technoligies, job sites, etc. Also, on their community page (as of the time of this blog post) there were direct links to blog entires by both Phil Japkise and I (Mike Wood)! That's pretty sweet!
