How about some free MVVM training/hands on/walkthroughs right in the VS box? “In the Box – MVVM Training” from Karl Shifflett (Oh yeah, with some WPF, Test, Moc, and Prism too)

Karl on WPF - In the Box – MVVM Training

“…

What is In the Box?

In the Box is a high quality, multi-media training that is consumed within Visual Studio 2010.  Content is navigated and delivered using a next generation computer based training (CBT) experience, the Visual Studio 2010 Feature Extension.

In the Box, is a brand name for a series of CBT Feature Extensions I’ll release that are listed in the Visual Studio 2010 Add New Project dialog; see below image.  This release is MVVM Training, the next will be Prism Training.

In the Box features:

• Visual Studio 2010 Feature Extension
• Content delivered as text, code, images, diagrams, video, or hyperlinks to the Internet
• Hierarchical navigation tool window for content navigation
• Content is viewed inside Visual Studio 2010 tool windows
• No additional downloads or dependencies; all content is in the box.  (except online videos)
• Installed and updated from the Visual Studio Gallery
• Managed (disabled or uninstalled) using Visual Studio Extensions Manager (see bottom of this page)
• Authored using Microsoft Word and the Instant Feature Builder

…

This installment of In the Box contains in-depth MVVM Training that includes an eleven assembly example solution with projects targeting developers at different levels of experience

Who is the target audience?

• If you have never used MVVM before, this training is for you. 
• If you have been using MVVM for a while and want to learn more, this training is for you. 
• If you are an expert, you will enjoy the MVVM Technical Description and MVVM Scenarios content.

As you seen in a couple recent posts, I really like the idea of training that’s baked into the VS box/IDE/experience. So when I saw this (and that it was built using Instant Feature Builder that I also just blogged about) I had to check it out…

Here are some snaps of it in action.

In Extension Manager, search for “MVVM Training”;

New Project (only available for C#);

Check out the scope of the training. We’re  talking some serious content here…

And yeah, it’s free. Now that’s a deal that is hard to beat…

Awesome.
