MS Offers Free Exam Voucher & Training on HTML5

The MS Virtual Academy strikes again. Thanks to a recent blog post on Born to Learn by Veronica Sopher, I uncovered the item about the “Developing HTML5 Apps Jump Start” in the MS Virtual Academy pages. There you’ll find a link to register for the free Jump Start training class, and the voucher code HTMLJMP that you can use to cover the costs when you visit Prometric to sign up for the 70-480 exam: Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3. This exam normally costs $150, and counts toward the MCSD: Web Applications and the MCSD: Windows Store Apps certifications. Here’s a snazzy graphic that explains the whole shebang:

 Or, if you prefer, you can visit this Facebook page to sign yourself up. If you’re at all interested in HTML5 and anything related to the new Windows Store apps UI (the interface formerly known as Metro, or TIFKAM as I sometimes call it), this is simply too good a deal to pass up. Free is good, interesting and useful skills and knowledge even better.
