I agree, give them a test environment and let them start banging away. One benefit that a class does give you though is the sharing of war stories at the lounge in the evenings and the BS/Q&A session following the Friday class. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Durbin [mailto:techlists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 1:40 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Citrix Training Material For me, the best way to learn a product is to read the product documentation and interact with the product in a lab. With a class, you're basically going through a manual that's a subset of the product documentation and doing lab exercises. You're also having to move through the material at the pace of the least experienced student, and if you're going to take an exam after the class, you'll need to read the docs anyway. I'll take the manuals any day over a class.
