Today Microsoft South Gulf had conducted a Developer Training Session on Microsoft Product free of cost. The training session was very good. It started from a excellent demonstration on Secuirty Mobilization Initiative (a little information on these topics is detailed in the end). Then there was a developer session on SQL Server 2005: CLR Integration & Business Intelligence it was really good and then in the end there was wonderfull demonstration on ASP .Net 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005 Team System. Throughout the Training we were thinking that we are Microsoft developers working for Microsoft, it was really cool, we enjoyed a lot.Thanks to Microsoft to take care of its developer community.

Cheers,
