One of the things I frequently find myself doing is delivering training to clients as part of TFS consulting engagements. During the TFS/VS Beta 2 period, I had four courses I regularly ran for clients. Based on my experience running these courses on the Beta release, I have significantly updated two of the four courses so far and expect to have the remaining two released by the end of June.

I wanted to talk about the TFS2010 – Configuration and Administration course in this post. This course has gone from one day to two days in duration to fit in the relevant content. I have targeted this course at what I will call the “TFS Guru” or go-to person that every team has in an organisation. If you’re the person that people go to to get things done of TFS, then this might be a course for you.

                            Great for Certification

                            As an added bonus, this course makes a great study aid for the recently released “TS: Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010, Administration” exam from Microsoft.

                            How do I attend the course?

                            I usually run this course on-demand for clients. If you would like to find out more about attending this course or getting it run in-house for your company, send me through an email at sales@enhancealm.com.au.  I am also running this as a public course in Brisbane on the 8th & 9th July if you’re in that area.
