MSDN: Getting Started with SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2010 Advanced Developer Training
I spent the last couple months working with a couple different SharePoint teams putting together this new learning experiences, so I wanted to devote a special blog entry for this two projects.
Getting Started with SharePoint 2010
Last October we released a Getting Started training series on MSDN SharePoint that includes a Silverlight application that displays 10 different SharePoint 2010 training modules with over 60 videos, more than 40 code snippets, 10 hands-on labs in both C# and VB, and fun quiz questions for each module. We’ve been monitoring traffic to this pages and we know this content set turned out to be quite popular, so we worked on a “v2” for launch.
What’s new in “V2” of Getting Started with SharePoint 2010
Everything! All content was updated to work with RTM bits.
 |
All videos were re-recorded and republished, all HOLs were recreated, and there’s three more new additions to this set:
We also added page rating and comments controls so you can send feedback and comment on modules and social media links so you can share the links to the training. We all owe this amazing training series to Paul Andrew who contributed to this massive amount of content for SharePoint developers. |
Here are links to all modules:
Module 1: Getting Started: Building Web Parts in SharePoint 2010
Module 2: What Developers Need to Know About SharePoint 2010
Module 3: Building Blocks for Web Part Development in SharePoint 2010
Module 4: Accessing SharePoint 2010 Data and Objects with Server-Side APIs
Module 5: Accessing SharePoint 2010 Data and Objects with Client-Side APIs
Module 6: Accessing External Data with Business Connectivity Services in SharePoint 2010
Module 7: Developing Business Processes with SharePoint 2010 Workflows
Module 8: Creating Silverlight User Interfaces for SharePoint 2010 Solutions
Module 9: Sandboxed Solutions for Web Parts in SharePoint 2010
Module 10: Creating Dialog Boxes and Ribbon Controls for SharePoint 2010
SharePoint 2010 Advanced Developer Training
I mentioned in my previous blog entry that if you are looking for black-belt training on SharePoint 2010 development, this is it! This training set includes 1-4 lessons p/track. All content was created by Vesa Juvonen a Microsoft MCS Principal Consultant and by Todd Carter, a Microsoft Principal Premier Field Engineer. You can watch lessons on our pages or download them for watching them later. These are longer videos, about 1 hour or so each, so you can download the videos as well. You can also get all the PowerPoint downloads for each lesson and coming soon we will enable virtual labs too!

Lowband version
We realize some of you are not using Silverlight so we also created a lowband version with pointers to all lesson videos and PPTX downloads at the bottom of the pages.
Finally, I’d like to mention that we are currently experiencing a massive amount of traffic to this pages and I’ve noticed this error on random occasions:
If you happen to get it, you can refresh the page and you should be able to get all the videos. Each module in a course uses a random MSN/Bing video server to spread the load and because of the high volume of traffic we are currently getting to this videos, you may get this error. You should be able to access all the content and videos after a refresh. If you have not enabled Silverlight or if you are unable to get the videos from the MSN/Bing server at any given time, you can still access all content from the lowband version at the bottom of the pages.

A lot of work went into all training sets, from all the content creation, to the publishing of all the multiple pieces that make this training sets. I think it’s amazing that we have all this content on Channel 9, MSDN and TechNet at Launch time.
