The Visual Studio 2008 Training Kit has been updated for the RTM and has been released on the Microsoft.com Download Center for anyone to download and use.  You can download the entire training kit from the download center here:  https://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=7602397.  After downloading the kit, simply run the installation program to extract the contents to your local machine.  Once the installation process is complete, you will see an HTML page that allows you to navigate through the contents of the kit.  It contains a full 5-days of technical content including 20 hands-on labs, 28 presentations, and 20 scripted demos.  

Here are the specific Team System content items you'll find within this kit:

Presentations:

  • Introducing Application Lifecycle Management
  • Value-up software development
  • The Business Analyst Perspective
  • The Project Managers Perspective
  • The Architect Perspective
  • The Developers Perspective

  • Code Metrics and Profiling
  • Creating and Executing Unit Tests
  • Process Governance with VSTS

Props to Grant Holliday (VSTS MVP extraordinaire) for pointing me at this recent release.  I love our MVPs...they often seem to know more than those of us on the product team!

    There was a Visual Studio Team System Basic Training VPC for 2005 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=527E2A17-1DEA-4D0B-9484-6AE43D00E570&displaylang=en).  Anyone know if there is a version of this for 2008?  We're ready to begin using this product, but would like to start with 2008 if we can.
