Since the alliance between Microsoft Press and O’Reilly Media went live late last year, over 200 Microsoft Press titles have been released in eBook format, all DRM-free - including some of the ones I've authored or co-authored. More details can be found at: 'New Adventures in Tech Publishing, or, "O’Reilly and Microsoft Press, Together? What’s Going on Here?”'  and here: http://microsoftpress.oreilly.com/. The Microsoft Press blog also details some discount codes:

Some of my books that you can now purchase as an ebook are:

Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Step by Step SharePoint Designer Step by Step SharePoint Server 2007 Administrator's Companion

By the way, I'm working on the next version of these three books for SharePoint 2010.

I'm presenting a session on Thursday 25th March 2010 at Southampton University. My session at 18:30 is titled: "Best Practice for Designing and Deploying Workflow using SharePoint Designer 2007". I'll briefly look at the out-of-the-box workflows that come with SharePoint Server 2007 and then how to use SharePoint Designer 2007 for building workflow solutions. The second session starts at 19:30 when Ian Woodgate will do a quick tour of records management in SharePoint Server 2010. There will then be a break followed by Symon Garfield and "What is SharePoint?" and the New Speaker Slot at 20:45.

I'm presenting a session this Thursday, 14th January 2010 at Intelligent Decisioning Ltd Offices at Nottingham. The session is on "Branding SharePoint Sites: Using the browser and SharePoint Designer 2007/2010". The first session will cover what's possible in 2007 and then after the break I'll briefly cover what's happened to branding in 2010. After which, there will then be some 'tales from the trenches' from Sam Dolan, aka @PinkPetrol, on SharePoint Designs and Nikki Ashington on Accessibility.

I have some SWAG that I've brought back from TechEd 2009, North America, to give away, so make sure you attend.
