PowerShell WMF 5.0 RTM Video Training now available!

PowerShell WMF 5.0 has reached RTM, and I am excited to announce video training!  Microsoft Premier customers now have access to 11 hours of PowerShell WMF 5.0 RTM video training through the Premier Workshop Library on Demand (WLOD) subscription.  We recorded seven modules on topics from beginner to advanced.  This training builds on our PowerShell Part 1 and Part 2 titles to cover new features in WMF 5.0.

Microsoft Premier Workshop Library on Demand

Microsoft Premier customers can get full-length, quality PowerShell training directly from Microsoft via streaming video at your convenience.

As a Microsoft Premier Field Engineer I teach many PowerShell workshops. Traditionally this has been classroom work, but over the last few years we have expanded our online offerings. We teach live remote workshops over Skype and use cloud-hosted labs. We also record training videos for you to stream on your schedule.

We call the online training videos Education as a Service, and we have given it the brand name Premier Workshop Library on Demand (WLOD) .  Check out a YouTube video explaining it here. The video training is an add-on item for Premier contracts. Not all Premier customers may have purchased this option, but they can always add it. image         image
