Dear valued LearnSystemCenter.com (and LearnITStuff.com) customer,
We would like to take a moment to introduce ourselves, and to inform you of some exciting changes that are taking place on LearnSystemCenter.com.
First, we would like to thank Chris Urban for his contributions and his dedication to the LearnSystemCenter website and to its customers. He is an extremely talented individual, and we wish him the best of luck at Microsoft and any future endeavors. This website is a testament to his talent and dedication.
learnITstuff.com (part of Champion Technology Group) has purchased the “learn” websites from Chris Urban and has incorporated them into learnITstuff.com. learnITstuff.com is a video-based training website that is modeled after what Mr. Urban has created with his “learn” sites. Content will be broken up into “channels”. System Center Operations Manager and System Center Configuration Manager will become two of the channels available on www.learnITstuff.com.
We are very excited to have talented trainers on board. Our quest is to find the best contributors in each area we train. Our belief is that the best contributors are people who have a very strong mix of business acumen, real world experience, and the ability to tell you not only how to get the job done, but why it is done a certain way.
Our goal is to grow the existing content, and add a wealth of new channels to the lineup. Over the next six months, expect to see new channels such as:
Active Directory 2008
SharePoint 2007
Exchange 2007
SQL 2005
VMWare
Linux
Microsoft Office 2007
We have some of the best talent in the respective topics on board, and they are already developing content for these new channels. Within the next two to three months, expect to see announcements that these channels are going live.
Our one year goal is to have all of the channels listed above 100% live, and even more new content in development. New channels on target for the 6-12 month timeframe are:
Windows Server 2008
File and Print
IIS
Group Policy
Additional System Center Products
Data Protection Manager
Service Manager
System Center Essentials
Live Communication Server
Cisco
Citrix
Microsoft SoftGrid
Business Desktop Deployment
Scripting (With VB and PowerShell)
Vista (Professional and Home)
ISA
NetApp storage products
Symantec Enterprise Vault
And more…..
