Content Management Server ?

Q: Does anyone know of any resources available for training in Microsoft Content Management Server ? None of the CTEC offices seem to carry it.. I mean I know its new.. but c'mon... Is there something I'm missing here?

A: -Something of a comedian I see, there have been a couple of arranged and cancelled events and also there is a whole session on future capabilities of XML import/export features of CMS as yet unannounced and unreleased at the MEC this year (a Whole one session out of 300 that is). Other than that pressure your country product manager if you can find out who that is. -Below is the information....But I have been told that there are better ways to spend 4000.00. Like searching the news groups or find someone who will work with you to get your site up from the newsgroups. That is what I have done. If you need any recomendations shoot me a line and I can assist. <> The course outline includes the 4-day Developing Web Sites course and the 1-day Managing Content for E-Commerce Sites. Training dates are given through the end of the year. The pricing is $4000 per person for the 4-day Developing Web Sites Course and $1,000 per person for the 1-day Managing Content for E-Commerce. The registration link is http://www.microsoft.com/usa/events, you can search by event title or code. Below are the corresponding event codes. -Shortly after we purchased the product I asked the same question to several different people at Microsoft and was forwarded a bit of information on classes that NCompass was still putting on at the time. One for authors and one for admin/basic development. Nothing was offered for hardcore development and is still not to the best of my knowledge. The best bang for your buck is to post questions to boards and get sample

source back. If your time frame is more immediate and you have specific questions on ways to achieve a specific objective than getting a CMS consultant on site for a short to extended period of time can be worth its weight in gold. I know that wasn't the answer you were really looking for, as I felt the same way, however we did get a consultant on site to help us work through some specific questions we had and she was able to help us get a much better grasp over the API in a very short period of time. Ended up being better than any class I could have gone to as it applied specifically to the things I wanted to accomplish. Very good experience.
