Advanced App-V Training - 10/7/2008 7:50:56 AM    jk01   Posts: 18 Score: 0 Joined: 11/1/2006 From: London, UK Status: offline I want to go on an Advanced Sequencing in App-V course of some kind but all i can find are the bog standard Introduction to Softgrid or MDOP courses which skirt around the sequencing aspect in 2 of 20 of the course modules.  I have been through all of the educational literature for the Softgrid course and it's very basic. Is anyone aware of a course which offers this?  The only one i can find is based in Canada (BigHat) and as im in the UK, it's not really cost effective for me.  I have sent them an email re distance learning or literature a while ago but had no reply. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks < Message edited by jk01 -- 10/7/2008 7:51:36 AM > Post #: 1

Login consultants has a four day course in Europe but it is very unlikely that Tim or myself will be doing a public course in Europe due to lack of demand. It's much easier for us to do a local course and have our students fly in because it keeps the overhead low so the likelyhood of running a course is high and more than 50% of our students aren't local to begin with. Anyway here is the link to the Login Consultants course. http://www.loginconsultants.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=151&Itemid=106 _____________________________ MVP for Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Big Hat Group http://www.bighatgroup.com Advanced SoftGrid Training http://www.gridmastertraining.com (in reply to jk01) Post #: 2

The course on offer from the Big Hat guys is exactly what I need...But in the UK. I've already spoken to a  Microsoft contact and it doesn't seem anything is in the pipeline in the short term.  Anyone else know of a similar course based in the UK? Thanks in advance.

Im glad to hear you are deveolping an offline course.  Do you have a rough estimate for completion of this? < Message edited by jk01 -- 10/8/2008 5:28:39 AM > (in reply to kkaminsk) Post #: 4

Maybe if we cut it down to just sequencing we could get something out the door earlier. I think the way Microsoft is marketing things you won't see an App-V specific certification and it will be lumped in with MDOP. _____________________________ MVP for Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Big Hat Group http://www.bighatgroup.com Advanced SoftGrid Training http://www.gridmastertraining.com (in reply to jk01) Post #: 5

Looking for something like a deep dive - how to do complex customizations - Been packaging for 5 years so I'm more advanced than a someone who's fresh to packaging apps. I've been on an MDOP course - fine for an overview, but little other than a snapshotting session. :( (in reply to kkaminsk) Post #: 10

RE: Advanced App-V Training - 9/28/2009 1:13:23 PM    kkaminsk Posts: 943 Score: 28 Joined: 6/10/2004 From: Calgary, Canada Status: offline I did do a course for a group of local packagers that had been using App-V for about 1-4 years (depending on the person) and they found value because we did touch on topics they didn't know. I guess we need to do a better job of talking about what our sequencing content contains. I do invite students to bring their problem applications to class so we can go over troubleshooting and hopefully fix some problems at the same time. Also I have a shameless plug to add. I'm a little short to put on a class in Calgary in the next couple months but I do have interest. Anyone interested please feel free to drop me a line. kevin.kaminski@bighatgroup.com _____________________________ MVP for Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Big Hat Group http://www.bighatgroup.com Advanced SoftGrid Training http://www.gridmastertraining.com (in reply to dm1) Post #: 11

I have attended a training myself. Instead of doing the basics again my class decided to skip them and rather discuss some more interesting parts of App-V or situations that we were unfamiliar or inexperienced with. Two of the trainers are MVP's as well ;) You might try and contact them to see what possibilities they offer. _____________________________ A computer once beat me at chess but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

That's the one but I didn't want to advertise (due to the EULA) but now you mention Login Consultants eventhough you're an employee of another company. Thanks that makes it more clear.
