Next week, there is some great online training for Microsoft CRM. See the details on Catherine Eibner’s blog here. There is also some excellent free face to face Microsoft CRM training in early May in Sydney. See the details on Chris Auld’s blog here.

Then there is the fantastic series of free online courses from Microsoft called Ramp Up. The courses include the following topics:

• SharePoint for Developers – Part 1
• SharePoint for Developers – Part 2
• Visual Studio 2008
• For the VS 2002/2003 Developer: Learn VS 2005
• For the VB 6.0 Developer: Learn VB 2005
• For the Java Developer: Learn .NET
• Developer Basics

There is also a lot of Microsoft Software that you can try for free – details are here. This is from a great post by David Lean about lots of free stuff you can get from Microsoft.

For SharePoint specifically, SharePoint Designer 2007 is now available as a free download, plus there are some training video’s available also here.  And if you want to try out SharePoint there is a pre-configured SharePoint VHD available for download here.

I’m sure this is not a comprehensive list, but it’s the ones that I’m going to start with now.
