Visual Studio Training Kits

I've been posting a lot about the announcements from the Microsoft PDC 2008, including Windows Azure, the Live Services Platform, and Oslo. 

What if your skills are still back on an earlier version of .NET?  Is there a good way to catch up quickly?

Microsoft has previously created Quick Starts to cover the core concepts in .NET 1.x and 2.0.  More recently, they have published various training kits.  Here's where you can find them online:

• Quick Starts for .NET 1.x
• Quick Starts for .NET 2.0
• .NET Framework 3.0 Training Kit
• VS2008 & .NET Framework 3.5 Training Kit
• .NET Framework 3.5 Enhancements Training Kit
• Azure Services Training Kit - PDC Preview

Microsoft also has another site, MSDN Ramp Up, which is designed to quickly get developers up to speed on the latest version of the .NET Framework.
