Microsoft Ramp Up

Hi I have been experimenting with the Ramp Up training Microsoft are offering for free these days to developers.
In my case it was to further my training with MS Sharepoint, however, on reading the Sharepoint certification course books, I realised that I needed some web developer experience. So I tried the web developer ramp up. It was interesting enough. You have a choice of a downloaded word articles or web casts, and an over view webcast or language (VB or C#) specific webcasts and the option of a hands on lab article. It is geared toward the beginner in that it covers the basic language syntax, variable declaration, use of 'imports' or 'using' directives and conditional and switching constructs as well as loops.
It also covers pretty comprehensively the page life cycle, events, state management and stuff like that.
For a quick and pretty painless intro into .NET languages I would recommend it and for a windows application developer, it was useful, since it covered configuration files and session management options and the page life cycle and event model was pretty well. I know quite a bit of it already but there were bits that I did not know previously.
The reward for completing the lesson plan is pretty good, a substantial discount to either exams, online course training material or to a subscription to online library. I think I will choose the latter.
Now I need a web application to build and probably find a lesson plan on LINQ. I have always wanted to know more about that. Since I will have to get my hands dirty on Web development I might as well incorporate LINQ in to the application while I am at it.
