Developer Security and other stuff

Time to get personally connected on MSDN UK

I have always been astounded by the shear volume of content that is available on MSDN.  Sadly, like security, the more of it there is, the harder it is to use!  Search engines can be a great help in finding what you need, but not so good a finding updated or new information.

 

So, the MSDN team in Reading, UK, have come up with MSDN Connection.  Lindsey Langedijk (she’ll probably kill me for mentioning her name in public ;-))  has done a great job in driving the creation of a personalised view of content, sliced and diced by the topics you select.  But there’s more!  It is now also possible to subscribe to an RSS feed of your selected content.  Very cool and only the beginning.  Sign-up today and keep coming back to MSDN UK for more great innovations in the months to come…

Footnote:

Now, I know some of you may be a little put-off because this service uses .NET Passport to allow you to save your preferences.  .NET Passport really is only an Authentication Service and all your personal and private data is not shared or used for anything you don’t choose, so if you haven’t got a Passport, then please may I encourage you to take this opportunity to sign-up.  When you do sign up, always make sure that the box marked ‘let Microsoft use this email address’ (or works to that effect) is checked because if you uncheck it, we will be obliged to remove you from any other mailing lists you may already be on at Microsoft, to comply with the UK’s Data Protection Act
