Announcing 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 online class specially tailored for VMWare and Microsoft virtualization technology pros. A “Jump Start” course is “team-taught” by two expert instructors in an engaging radio talk show style format.

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.
