One of the hardest things to do today (and something I constantly talk about on this blog) is keep up with the amount of technology coming out of Microsoft for developers.
Many times I get asked, "Dmitry, how do you do it?". To answer this question I typically want to say "I don't do a good job at all", because on many days it feels that the technology wagon passed me by days ago and I still have not caught up.
But honestly I probably do as descent job at keeping up with it all as humanly possible. To get even that far I use a collection of Blogs, Magazines, Newsletters, and colleagues who I follow five to six days out of the week. This took some time to get just right, but finally I have reached the right formula for me.
So what is this secret formula? If you read this blog, you probably have already seen a large amount of posts on the various things I recommend in terms of Blogs or Magazines, so there is no need to repeat. Honestly, the formula that I have works for me and has no guaranty of working for anyone else, so sharing it in that much detail is really pointless.
Instead, lets talk about the one thing I can always count on, the MSDN Flash Newsletter.
MSDN Flash Newsletter
I honestly believe that if your a Microsoft developer, you need to be reading your MSDN Flash newsletter on a regular basis. This customized news source has been one of the best ways for me to keep up with Redmond, its really an excellent publication with high grades for quality.
Even if I miss some big announcement or don't get caught up on my blog reading I am always sure that when this newsletter arrives in my email, it will have exactly the main highlights I should be spending time on.
