Imaginet–March Webcasts

Webcasts Comments Off

Feb 212012

Another good source of webcasts is Imaginet. I used to work for a subsidiary of Imaginet, Notion Solutions (which, BTW, gave out the best laptop bags ever. I still have mine and use it regularly. They are nice. Thank you Chris!), and one of the things I used to do for them were the weekly webcasts. Sadly, the Notion Solutions name is no more, but their webcasts live on, though someone else is doing them now.

Here are the Imaginet ALM Webcasts for March:

Tuesday,March 6. 1pm CST	Streamlining Testing with Visual Studio 2010 ALM Tools	Register
Tuesday, March13. 1pm CST	Automating Configuration Management with TFS	Register
Monday, March 26. 1pm CST	Software Configuration Management and ALM	Register
Tuesday, March 27. 1pm CST	Automating Configuration Management with TFS	Register

Do you have webcasts, videos, or other information around ALM/TFS/VS? Want to get your information listed here at ALM Rocks? Then post a comment, send me an email, or hit me up on Twitter. I look forward to hearing from you!

NorthWest Cadence–March Webcasts

Training, Webcasts 2 Responses »

Feb 202012

One of the things I like about the NorthWest Cadence line-up of webcasts is that they not only cover the ALM tools available from Microsoft, but they also introduce you to new concepts in the ALM space in general. For example, Steve Borg loves Kanban. I mean loves it. I’m not even sure how to pronounce it, but he loves it. Martin Hinshelwood loves Scrum (that one I can pronounce, but not with Martin’s nice Scottish accent). But the point is, the webcasts they provide are really good. And let’s face it, you can take an hour a week to learn more about ALM.

Here is the NorthWest Cadence March/April Webcast schedule:

Friday, March 9. 8am PST	Scrum versus Kanban	Register to attend
Friday, March 16. 8am PST	Introduction to Kanban	Register to attend
Friday, March 23. 8am PST	Introduction to Scrum	Register to attend
Friday, March 30. 8am PST	Visualize Work – The Power of Big Visible Displays	Register to attend
Friday, April 6. 8am PST	Scrum-damentals	Register to attend
Friday, April 13. 8am PST	Limit Work in Process (WIP)	Register to attend
