In August, we are also giving away 15 copies of the book Microsoft Dynamics 4.0 Unleashed.

The winner of the July New Horizons training course (worth up to $2,500) is Jonathan Schillinger (pictured, right). Jon is a systems administrator for the Fairfield Auto Group and a CCNA. He plans to use his free course to tackle his next certification goal, the MCSE. Congratulations!

The winner of the $500 Cool Stuff gift card from Global Knowledge is Scott Martin, a network analyst for Rural Mutual Insurance.
