Announcing Next Jump Start: Microsoft Virtualization for VMWare Professionals (March 29-31)
Just one week after Microsoft Management Summit 2011 (MMS), Microsoft Learning will be hosting an exclusive three-day Jump Start class specially tailored for VMWare and Microsoft virtualization technology pros. In support of the “VMWare Compete” initiative, registration for “ Microsoft Virtualization for VMWare Professionals ” is open now and will be delivered as a FREE online class on March 29-31, 2010 from 10:00am-4:00pm PDT. Our last two events — Windows Phone 7 Jump Start (over 1,400 live students and more than 418,000 views of the videos) and Developing Cloud Applications with the Windows Azure Platform" — were very popular and we’re excited to see registrations start to come in for this three-day course.

What is a “Jump Start” course?
A “Jump Start” course is “team-taught” by two expert instructors in an engaging radio talk show style format. The idea is to deliver readiness training on strategic and emerging technologies that drive awareness at scale before Microsoft Learning develops mainstream Microsoft Official Courses (MOC) that map to certifications. The success of the Jump Starts have been the result of the tight collaboration between DPE, BG’s and MSL – this course is no exception. All sessions are professionally recorded and distributed through MS Showcase, Channel 9, Zune Marketplace and iTunes for broader reach.
