Where do i start? | Architecture Overview

Last night in Microsoft Student Partner Gathering (MSP) Yogyakarta, one of the MSP asked us about how the specialization are like IT Pros/Developer..and how we choose one of it?

My simple answer to this question is “start learning from what you have in a bird eye view” for example all of the MSP have an access to MSDNAA and MSDN Subscriptions, they can start from there and learn from there after that just let it flow to explore and explore

I remember some great reference to do some quick start whether you are newbie or a .net survivor

through this table you can learn how to build better application and how the technology applied in the concerns of need
