Just got a question in regarding the free MS Press eBook you get when you register your Visual Studio 2005 beta2 software... The DVDs have started shipping as part of the Beta2 Experience - so more of you are probably interested... if you are, check out the instructions below.

And if you haven't already signed up for your free beta software and We Fly 247 resource kit, you can do so at: www.microsoft.com/betaexperience. I've received a lot of feedback recently from folks who have tried out the We Fly kit - and it has been unanimously positive. So make sure you get yours!

Sign-up for the Visual Studio Beta 2 Experience (this link is for EMEA developers only).

Register Visual Studio Beta 2 for a free online book from MS Press

Register your copy of Visual Studion 2005 beta2 today and receive access to a free developer book from MS Press. Choose from online versions of 'Introducing ASP.NET 2.0', 'Introducing Microsoft Visual Basic 2005' and 'Writing Secure Code, 2nd Edition'.

To register the beta, you can either do it when you install it (as prompted) or by going to "Help/Activate Product" in the menu bar. When you complete the registration process, you will receive an email with a link to the online books and an access code. Each user will have access to one book per code.
