The new #MIM2016 book is out! Must have!

I just got the notice from Packt Publishing today that the new MIM2016  book has been published!
Go check at http://aka.ms/mim2016book.

David Steadman and Jeff Ingalls have been working very hard to create a reference piece of literature, so it’s a must have for your bookshelf.

From the early beginning of the book I’ve been involved in the reviewing, and although it has been a bumpy ride, it has been a great time!

I know my FIM/MIM geekiness/freakiness must have caused quite some headaches to the authors and the publishing project team at Packt, but just be sure it was for the better good.

The ebook version is awful cheap, but I’m going for the paper version anyway as I’m convinced it’s a must have.

So my future FIM/MIM students will have something to look forward to (meaning get their hands on MY copy of the book, … )

Congratz, David and Jeff!
Now you can take a well-deserved vacation!

 

Note-to-self: free MS Press eBooks on Microsoft Virtual academy

Looking for some Azure reference material, planning for Azure certification exams, …? Have a look at the eBooks section on Microsoft Virtual Academy (MVA)…
Short url: http://aka.ms/freemspress

It has a quite interesting collection of free eBooks you can download…

 

And while you’re there, also check the learning stuff for identity:
