\nDoes it feel like technology is advancing faster than ever? If so, you\u2019re not alone. Many businesses struggle to keep up with ever-changing tech trends. They need ways to stay ahead of the tech curve, and figure out how new technology helps their business. But they lack the time and money necessary for educational events (like conferences).<\/p>\n

In an effort to make technology education more accessible, we started an education program last year. Our education program offers videos, papers, and recorded webinars on-demand. <\/p>\n

The best part: It\u2019s free to all, and constantly growing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m happy to say that we recently released a variety of new resources\u2014aimed at addressing common business questions and challenges. These offerings include topics like:<\/p>\n

\nWeb Services help different applications communicate (and share data and services) with each other. They are platform and technology independent\u2014meaning they even connect applications written in different programming languages. But, why are they so important to your business? This video explores web services from a business standpoint\u2014explaining how they help businesses, and outlining a few ways other companies use them.<\/p>\n

Additionally, we\u2019ve also made some organizational improvements to our YouTube Channel and On-Demand Webinar listings. These changes include:<\/p>\n
