How do you keep up to date in programming?

What's the best way or normal way software developers, programmers, and IT staff keeps up to date with all the technology changes. My company pays me for books, but is reluctant to send me to classes, i.e. New Horizons as they are too expensive. I also know there are video training out there, as far as keeping up to date with all of the changes from Microsoft, i.e. Windows Server 2003, VB.Net 2005, etc. how do you do it?

I join forums and look at online tutorials. There are a lot of good programming forums out there, and most of the people are happy to help you.

Never stop studying, sign up to their news releases, read their release information, its hard but it can be worth it...sometimes.



And by their, I mean the languages' main developers.
