Free resources to learn C#.NET and Powershell

Last week I had the opportunity to present a multi-day training course covering the technologies & troubleshooting techniques related to my employers flagship product. As part of the presentation I covered a couple of key technologies which are critical to our products: C#.NET and Powerhsell.

There are a couple of specific resources that have proven useful to us that I'd like to pass along here.

For learning about Powershell Dr. Tobias Weltner has a fantastic eBook available for download. You can find more information about the book by visiting powershell.com

To gain introductory information about C# I would recommend looking over the eBook .NET Zero by Charles Petzold.

In case anyone hasn't heard, Microsoft offers free development tools. You can find out more about the free tools by visiting Microsoft's page on Visual Studio Express.
