BizSpark

I mentioned a few times before about a program known as BizSpark. Now it’s time to write something more about it, as it’s worth it. BizSpark is program developed by Microsoft, for companies existing for less  than 5 years and their turnover is less than 100 000 $. Duration of partnership is 3 years. Registration  process is simple. We register with our LiveID at BizSpark site and then we fill some information about our company. After few days we should get response from Microsoft about our BizSpark membership. Ok, so what we get in fact? First of all we get full access to MSDN! Anyone who knows a little about Microsoft programming that’s BIG thing. Let me say that you get Visual Studio 2012 ultimate edition… And it’s for free and you can use it to earn money.  Also we get possibility to register for free developer account for Windows Store and Windows Phone. Nothing special but still it’s for free. Why you can try and maybe you will create new Angry Birds for Windows Phone? There’s nothing to lose and we can do a lot of things for 3 years. Especially than Windows Phone is in my opinion very good mobile system and you should know something about it. Soon I will get new Nokia Lumia 820 so I can try it by my own. Well, I’m missing the point…

As BizSpark member we get also access to Azure with resource limitation, but it’s enough to learn it. Also we will get some offer from program partners, with 3 month offer from PluralSight . So let’s assume. Is worth to access? Totally! I’m not sure why Microsoft is not present more information about BizSpark, but If you run small company you should try it.
