Ask HN: Windows IT knowledge for a developer?
I'm a developer - primarily .NET on Windows. I've recently started a new job which, although a senior dev role, is also requiring more Windows IT knowledge than I anticipated: domains, Active Directory, security, group policy, networking, etc. My knowledge of these areas was mostly acquired organically, and I feel I need to make it more systematic and fill-in the gaps.
So: what are some good dev-friendly knowledge sources in this area? I have a preference for books, but online is good too. And if you've faced this challenge, any tips on what worked for you?
learn.microsoft.com is going to be one of your better resources.
Doesn't Microsoft have a bunch of training courses and certs for this?
