Away at SoftGrid 4.1 training this week
This week I am in Chicago attending SoftGrid 4.1 training. I have really been excited about this product since I first saw it at MMS in 2006 and have been working to get it deployed in my company. I have found a few good sites with information on SoftGrid, but have been looking forward to attending the 4 day training class to really get more in depth information on how some things are supposed to be done the right way in addition to the ways I have figured out on my own ;-)
To that end, I'm in Chicago this week taking the class and am lucky enough to have one of the original SoftGrid trainers here in class with us to help answer questions. I've never been to Chicago before and I have a former Chicago native attending class with me so I'm really getting some of the local "flavor" Last night we started off on the right foot with stuffed deep dish pizza from Giordanos...Delicious!
There used to be an "official" SoftGrid certification, but with the MS acquisition of them, the official SCP Certification is currently no longer available, but you can still take the "assessment test" and get a certificate anyhow. Eventually they think the SoftGrid curriculum will be integrated into the Microsoft cert program, but it is kind of in limbo now. At least I get the training, and can print out the certificate at the end of the assessment to have a little something to show for it.
