Microsoft Press Releases FREE Video Tutorials
Step by Step Fan

We're pretty excited to unveil nearly fifteen hours of free video instruction, based on three of our most popular recent Microsoft Press Step by Step title releases. The videos are based on, but not exact copies of, each book; there's material in the videos that you won't find in the books, and vice versa.

We all learn in different ways, and if there's enough demand for video editions or companions to existing Microsoft Press books, we'll certainly consider making the commitment to produce more.
