			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Microsoft has a <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/learning/" title="Microsoft Learning">Learning</a> site, where you can sign up for different topic areas in their <a href="https://www.microsoftelearning.com/catalog/">learning catalog</a>. Many of the courses have a registration cost associated with them. However, there are quite a few courses Microsoft makes available for free.</p>
<p>Some of the free courses that caught my interest were:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://learning.microsoft.com/Manager/ResourceDetails.aspx?resourceId={5beb77fd-0451-45b6-a3b2-07b282e5d085}&amp;locale=en-US">Course 4628: What&#8217;s New in Microsoft Office Word 2007</a></li>
<li><a href="http://learning.microsoft.com/Manager/ResourceDetails.aspx?resourceId={0d66d04c-6bc7-4463-bff9-2cb2af479e6b}&amp;locale=en-US">Course 4625: What&#8217;s New in Microsoft Office OneNote 2007</a></li>
<li><a href="http://learning.microsoft.com/Manager/ResourceDetails.aspx?resourceId={89e8b95e-3b0b-4189-a4b0-1e93d2a19d66}&amp;locale=en-US">Course 4624: What&#8217;s New in Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007</a></li>
<li><a href="http://learning.microsoft.com/Manager/ResourceDetails.aspx?resourceId={aa48f511-ee42-437f-a94d-efe252c734a5}&amp;locale=en-US">Clinic 3199: Getting Started with the 2007 Microsoft Office System (Beta)</a></li>
<li><a href="http://learning.microsoft.com/Manager/ResourceDetails.aspx?resourceId={e64a6eeb-5302-41b4-bebd-2cfd730e26a0}&amp;locale=en-US">Clinic 3369: Getting Started with Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (Beta)</a></li>
<li><a href="http://learning.microsoft.com/Manager/ResourceDetails.aspx?resourceId={2ca702a7-acbe-4a1f-89c4-0e33e82cc439}&amp;locale=en-US">Clinic 5045: Inside Look at Developing with Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0</a></li>
<li><a href="http://learning.microsoft.com/Manager/ResourceDetails.aspx?resourceId={3b07949a-6773-483a-9899-b5f1da1bfc2e}&amp;locale=en-US">Clinic 3370: Getting Started with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (Beta)</a></li>
<li><a href="http://learning.microsoft.com/Manager/ResourceDetails.aspx?resourceId={c61cd748-018e-4184-af7e-eb8c6fe63574}&amp;locale=en-US">Course 2913: Creating Your First Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 Web Application</a></li>
<li><a href="http://learning.microsoft.com/Manager/ResourceDetails.aspx?resourceId={8677ee04-22f6-4e7b-867e-3ab41874b70d}&amp;locale=en-US">Course 2915: Working with ADO.NET 2.0 Within Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 Plus Access to Online Library</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Their <a href="http://learning.microsoft.com/Manager/default.aspx?brand=Learning">learning manager</a> interface is pretty nice. It keeps track of the courses you have registered for, and even your progress inside those courses. You can stop a course, come back to it later, and pick up in the section you left off.</p>
<p>If you use any Microsoft software, and feel like you have room to sharpen up a bit, you might check out the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/learning/" title="Microsoft Learning">Learning</a> site and see if there are any free courses available that you can register for.</p>
