Commerce Server 2007 Developer Boot Camp – Intro

Microsoft Developer Platform Evangelism division was so kind to invite all the developers (and others) interested in Commerce Server 2007 to came to 3 day training boot camp here in Redmond, from June 12th - June 14th. The training material are presented by the Max Akbar, which blog is one of the most useful source of information on Commerce Server 2007 I could found. The boot camp is organized into the modules with the hands on labs at the end of the module. All the presented material is recorded on a DVD so the participants could watch them after the boot camp. I'll be capturing some of the interesting moments from the boot camp and publish it on the blog for all of you who missed the camp.

Max Akbar is not working in Microsoft anymore

Started pretty shocking by announcement of Max Akbar that he left the Microsoft and joined the Extreme consultants. Max already made that announcement on his blog Max leaving the Microsoft but I saw a lot of people were really surprised. Max would continue to cooperate with his ex CS team as an external consultant. He would continue to blog on his MSDN blog address he owned before. He is currently working on a set of web casts (8 hours/each), where each one would cover certain area of CS 2007. Beside the typical L200 stuff those web casts would contain a lot of advanced things such as workflow integration etc
I'm really impressed with the amount of knowledge Max has about Commerce Server 2007 and I'm even more impressed with the kindness and willing he showed. A great add on to Extreme consultants!
