 Andrew Troelsen

Welcome to the May issue of The Software Developer. 

 

Its spring and Intertech is growing our line-up of courses.  We've added a SOA and a EAI web service design pattern course, a Visual Studio Team System course, and a Ruby course.  If you’re in Minneapolis/St. Paul on May 31rst, register for our FREE Ajax seminar.

If you're ready to dive into Ajax, sign-up for our Complete Ajax course in June.  Both the free seminar and the class are expected to fill—if you’re interested, register early.

In this issue, you’ll find:

  •  A FREE chapter from my just released VB.NET 2.0 book
  • 12 tips on how to transition from being a techie to a manager
  •  A lowdown on the Enterprise Service Bus

Have a Great Spring!
