Hi Folks - Noob to group, but am trying to figure out where the embedded
group and Microsoft learning is headed in the area of training for the new
5.0 platform.
I've delivered 3 custom courses to customers with large deployments of this
platform, but as yet, have seen no indications for a course on develping to
the existing AND new features of the platform. I did notice that for a short
period of time, 2540 was indicated as the course for 5.0 (erroniously).
Anybody with a clue?
 
2540 *is* a course for 5.0, but that's Windows CE 5.0, not Windows Mobile 5
(which happens to be based on Windows CE 5.0, but, anyway).

Appreciate your quick response to my inquirery Paul, but might have
appreciated a slower- more examined reply. I have trained the 2540 over 12
times and it is not the .net compact framework 2.0 and mobile 5.0 platform -
and there is the rub. Have built a course that speaks to the need, but have
seen no indication that Microsoft Learning is in step with the need of the
current market. ideas?

Actually, reading back over your original message, my reply would have been
exactly what it was. When you say 5.0, that does not read as WM 5.0 to me
at any time or in any way (and there is no such thing as WM 5.0, anyway,
best I can tell). I'd still say that 2540 *is* a course for 5.0. Obviously
I come at this as a device OEM and not a software-only guy, so that's my
device-builder bigotry.

I'm sure that the limitation is at MSL, as far as reading the tea leaves on
what training is required, but my own feeling is that most people can get
started pretty much without training if they really are software guys. It's
hard to convince them that they need training, even when they do, *once*
they've gotten started. I think that, in most cases, this is actually a
*good* thing, as it indicates that the tools themselves don't require much
training and it's the track to complex applications that needs to be greased
a little and not the track to simple, hello world, or even basic data access
applications, that need training to implement. I think that the training
market is for porting from .NETCF 1.0/CE4.x/WM2003 to .NETCF 2.0/CE5/WM5 is
very, very small and I can't say that I blame MSL for ignoring it, if they
are.
