.NET University - FAQ

  • Why did you do this?
    The purpose of .NET University is to provide a quick and easy way to get an overview of the new features in various developer technologies, as well as provide materials for the community to re-present to other technical audiences.
  • Why isn’t the content deeper?
    .NET University is here to provide you a way to get an introduction to the technical concepts, so you’ll have an idea of what is available in a particular technology. Deeper teaching is available at numerous partners. Contact your local Developer Evangelist for recommended training partners in your area.

  • Can I teach this content to anyone?
    Yes, this content is designed to be presented to developer audiences as long as you do not charge a fee for the course. The courseware is intended to offer a no-cost overview to any and all developers interested in learning about .NET. It also offers first time teachers a well-defined and organized set of slides and labs to train others.

I dig how this is MEANT for you to share with others, that as long as you don’t charge for the class, you can use the material to teach others. When your training budgets are, um… constrained, and you’re doing all you can to keep yourself, friends and coworkers fresh, this material could be a godsend.

(Why re-invent a brown-bag session when you can just steal it?… err… um… DEL DEL DEL… borrow it… yeah, that  ;)

Hey Greg, glad you like the .NET U concept. I'm going to post more content there in the coming months, as well as create a way for people to easily pull the content through to their own sites. Stay tuned!
