MSDN Blogs > Canadian Developer Connection > Developer Resources and Links

One of the things that’s great about what we do as a group here at Microsoft Canada is that we get to show developers, such as yourself, what’s possible with Microsoft technologies, making you aware of available training resources, and most importantly, ensuring that Microsoft is there to help you be successful with your endeavours.

Developers are always looking for quick and effortless ways of staying up to date. To help you, we’ve compiled each of our top 5 most valuable, developer focused, resources that we, ourselves, use, recommend, and believe would be relevant for you into a resources list below. You’ll notice initials beside the resources – these will tell you which of us contributed the resource. If you have any questions or would like to discuss further, feel free to reach out to us at any time or start a discussion in the Canadian Developer Connection LinkedIn group.

We’ll make sure to keep these up to date and would love your help. If there are resources that you think would be beneficial to others, please send us an email at cdndevs@microsoft.com.
