Thanks for the feedback--that's the same note that we got from many
attendees.

As we were there, I realized that I didn't ask you guys if you were
coming, but I also figured that you got the email blasts like everyone
else, so I felt a little less guilty :).

If you're interested in the hands-on part, it could be done via a
consulting effort with the same quality :) Let me know if you're
interested. We're also pretty sure the hands-on will be offered at
Collaborate 09 as well (probably for an extra fee above the conference fee).

To be honest, I am completely envious that we were not able to send anyone from our school. Grr!!

So, when is the next one? =) I am very impressed with all the work you guys put into setting up the labs and the careful attention you paid to every detail. Kudos! I look forward to hearing what everyone else is saying.

Hi Miles,

Thanks for the feedback. We heard many times that more than one day of
hands-on time would be good. As we mentioned in the labs, one of the
benefits of using VMWare as we did is that you can go home and build the
VMs yourself and continue with the labs as needed. All the software used
is available for download from OTN and/or EDelivery.

The participants will be sent a link where slides and lab materials can
be downloaded in the next few days (we're finalizing and preparing that
website now).

P.S. It was a lot of work, but I actually had a lot of fun preparing and
facilitating the event as well!

Dan,

Thanks for organizing this event, I was able to learn much more with hands on then just listening to lectures. I do want to add that the lectures were all excellent and I learned quite a bit from each session but there is no substitute for hands-on training. One suggestion would be to extend the hands-on training one more day. I appeciated all the information on VMWare, this will help me setup my own environment at home where I can finish the labs that I did not get to during the training. Once again I would like to thank everyone involved for an excellent two day event.

P.S. Where and when will we be able to get a copy of the session slides for both days?

Thanks,
Miles Anderson
