imageYou’ve attended, or plan to attend TechDays . You attend sessions and learn more about Agile, ASP.NET security sessions, IntelliTrace, the Entity Framework, Test Manager and more! Your head is buzzing with thoughts about how can I apply what I’ve seen at TechDays when I get back to the office. How do I share this with my team? Well instead of a Top 5, today it’s a Top 10!

Top 10 resources you can use after TechDays to help you take what you’ve learned and apply it at work!

In no particular order since sessions covered both methodologies and code, what’s the best resource will depend on which session’s content you want to apply!
