Have you taught introductory IT Pro courses? We want you!

To clarify, my friends: we're specifically looking for folks with experience teaching intro courses at a high school or community college level.

"A few months ago we announced the Virtual Business Card project to be launched in August. It’s now August and a lot of you are asking where it is. Well, it’s not done and probably won’t launch until mid-late September. "

So Where are Virtual Business Cards?

Heres a though, please complete past projects/promises before moving on.

1. Fill us in on the MCITP: Virtualization Administrator cert stuff
2. Launch virtual business card site

Here's a few suggestions to get you there.

1. Stop taking month long vacations. All i ever see here are posts about how so and so is going to be gone for a solid month. Who really needs to take off one twelth of the entire year?

2. Stop going on vacations via a bus and all expenses paid by microsoft. I know 15 people on a bus arent doing any real work while trekking across Europe for gods sake.

Not trying to be rude, but heck...you guys make promises and are routinely late.

Good idea! Would love to see some kind of synergy with the CompTIA A+

@jordus:

The MCITP Virtualization Administrator is still in development and under wraps. I can tell you that we'll have two TS exams and one Pro exam, but release dates and content are still TBA. We'll post news when we have it.

The business card site hit a snag which we've since worked through--but I asked Erwin to hold off on posting an updated schedule until we were very confident that it's solid. I expect we'll have an update to post here later this week.

WRT your suggestions:

I'll take your vacation suggestion as good-natured ribbing--since much of the industrialized world takes off that much time for holidays. (I believe the US is atypical in that regard.) In any event, I'm certainly not critical path in either of the two projects you were asking about; my absence didn't delay them in the slightest.

As for the bus tour, if you think that living and sleeping on a bus for two weeks is a vacation, then you and I have very different concepts of that term. :-) We'll be working as we travel--we got very good at that on our last tour.

Humorous suggestions aside, I do want to make sure we're following through on our promises. The Virtual Business Card snag was unfortunate and atypical--and to my knowledge the only such issue. (I'm not sure what was promised about MCITP:VA, but the lack of news on that topic isn't the result of distraction but rather a business decision that Microsoft isn't ready to announce details yet.) Is there anything else?

Thank, Ken. That about sums it up. I must have been grumpy a few weeks ago when I made that post, it was a little harsh.

I had been promised some info on the MCITP VA a few times before and had been routinely ignored or forgotten about. Thanks for the update.

About a year ago, I asked for volunteers to help out with creating the first Microsoft Technology Associate
