Free training courses from VMware!
You may not know that VMware provides some online courses for free. All you need to do is register for a myLearn account and then you can register for – and complete – various foundation courses.
Go to http://mylearn.vmware.com/portals/www/mL.cfm?menu=topfreecourses and you will see an up to date list of the available free training courses from VMware.
But, that’s not all. There’s more (plus a free set of steak knives!).
Other free training resources from VMware
Aside from the free training courses from VMware, these sites (from VMware or partners) offer free training and demonstrations
- VMwareTV YouTube channel – if you just need to find a little video demo of installing or configuring a VMware product, go here
- VMware Learning – these videos are more a presentation of a products concepts and capabilities, but can help fill in gaps
- VMware Next-Generation Education Environment (aka Project NEE) gives hands-on access to products in a virtual environment that lets you “kick the tyres” of a product, with step by step instructions to complete a process such as implementation of a product. I love it because it is pre-configured, and you can poke around with a working system before you deploy your own.
- VMware Documentation Library – it’s text, and often long (as it needs to cover as many options and ways of doing things as possible), but you can’t go past the original doco!
- VMware discussion forum – Communities. It’s often helpful to be able to ask an expert (even non-VMware people) for an answer to a question here, but I mostly use the Communities to look up the answer that someone else has provided!
- VMware Blogs – it’s not just opinion and news that is posted here – there are often articles about how to complete tasks and functions (sometimes otherwise undocumented capsbilities)
