Microsoft's 20 Years in Ireland Academic Celebration

  • Artigo

 

In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Microsoft in Ireland, Microsoft Ireland invites all faculty and students in third-level academic institutions in Ireland and Northern Ireland to join our 20 Years in Ireland Academic Celebration! 

 

Through this initiative, we will provide 20 Colleges and Universities with a comprehensive library of technical resources. We will also connect students with personalized resources and information, help them get a head start in searching for a job with .NET, and even send one student on an all-expense-paid trip to TechEd Europe 2005, Microsoft’s premier European developer conference!

 

.NET Academic Library

We’ve worked internally and with our developer communities (both commercial and academic) to arrive at this collection, which covers subjects ranging from Introductory Programming in C# and security best practices, to Mobile, Game and Web Development in .NET. We're sending these resources to University and College libraries, where we hope they will be useful as reference. Faculty may also consider some of them as potential course material!

 

Students: What’s in it for you?

.NET adoption in Ireland is growing at the fastest rate in Europe – and right now there are not enough .NET developers to meet this growing demand. This program is the opportunity students need to get a head start in searching for a job.

 

Students sign up to receive:

  • A chance to win an all-expenses-paid trip to TechEd Europe 2005, Microsoft’s premier European developer conference in Amsterdam (July 4th-8th)!
  • Free access to early versions of the latest Microsoft .NET development tools
  • Free DVD resource kits to help you get up and running from scratch
  • Free access to online and offline training
  • Plus a special free gift to commemorate the “20 Years in Ireland Academic Celebration”!  

How to sign up?

All you have to do to get started on this program is to sign up and attend a special live webcast on June 1st which launches this program. Attend this webcast to:

  • Find out how quickly .NET adoption is growing in Ireland – and learn about opportunities available to you!
  • Find out how to access all your free resources and training.
  • Get entered into the draw to win a trip to TechEd Europe 2005!
