Link -WebsiteSpark is the newest Spark program aimed at getting more Web developers to use Microsoft's development tools. The software giant also announced version 2.0 of its Web Platform Installer and Windows Web App Gallery.
Microsoft today launched WebsiteSpark, a program designed to help Web development and design companies for three years with no up-front cost. The program provides businesses with Microsoft software and solutions, related tools, training and support, plus connecting Web professionals and hosters to an ecosystem of customers, partners, and other professionals with complementary technologies. There are, however, two catches. First, the company interested in WebsiteSpark must have fewer than 10 employees and owners that build websites and Web applications on behalf of others. Second, there is a $100 program offering fee, payable at exit.
