Even though I have only been at Northwest Cadence for a short time I have already done so much. What I really wanted to do was let you guys know about a bunch of FREE training that NWC offers.
These sessions are at a fantastic time for the UK as 9am PST (Seattle time) is around 5pm GMT. Its a fantastic way to finish off your Fridays 
and with the lack of love for developers in the UK set to continue I would love some of you guys to get some from the US instead.
There are really two offerings. The first is something called Coffee talks that take you through an hours worth of detail in a specific category.
Coffee Talks
These coffee talks have some superb topics and you can get excellent interaction with the presenter as they are kind of informal.

ALM Training Engagement Program
Microsoft has released a new program to bring free Visual Studio 2010 Training Sessions to select customers on Microsoft Visual Studio products and how Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solutions can help drive greater business impact.
For more details on this program, please see the process chart below. To get started send an email to us; This training is paid for by Microsoft and you would need to commit to 4 sessions in order to get accepted into the program. So these have more hoops to jump through to get them, but the content is much more formal and centres around adoption.
