IIS 6 Training

Recently, a user emailed me and ask “I like to attend IIS 6 trainings, do you know any?”  Good question, I have no much clue on this as well :)  Well, so I dig around, and here's what you can do:

a) TryIIS6.com - click on Get Online Training, this is a great place to start learning about IIS 6, there are video clips, animated presentation slides, simulations and lot more.

b) Course 2694 - this is the only Microsoft official workshop for IIS 6 :(  how sad - only 1 course ???  It's a new course to replace course 2295 for IIS 5. I remembered quite a while ago Microsoft was gathering our feedbacks on official curriculum for IIS 6, not sure if this is the one, but it's kinda sad to have only ONE course for the product!

c) IIS Webcasts - one of the best ways to learn IIS 6. For the past webcast schedule, you can always refer to the IIS Webcasts section that I have in my blog.

d) Evaluation kit - IMHO,  this is the only way to learn IIS 6 :)  or if you have an existing Windows 2003 license, it's even better as it won't expired after 180days. Get you hand dirty with it, put it in a test machine or load it in a virtual pc/server setup. Try everything in real! read the helpfile, it's been the best documentation so far compare to the previous version, but of coz, it contains some error information, etc in it. But you can always refer to the latest Technical documentation at Microsoft.com.

Hope that you can kick start your IIS 6 experience with the above and don't forget to visit IIS newsgroups, IIS Insider, IIS-resources.com, IISfaq.com, etc to seek experts help and guideline. And of course, there are many training companies offering different training courses for IIS 6, you need to google this as I didn't pay any attention on those.
