Structured classes are very useful, if the people have little or no IT knowledge. I think that they impart more than just knowledge, but a "Best Practise" approach. If your an experienced IT person, then generally it is the same stuff just different color. So yeah throw me Manual and test lab. But I don't think you can knock the value of a good course with an excellent Instructor and no newbies onboard. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Taylor, George" <gtaylor@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tuesday, October 5, 2004 5:57 am Subject: [THIN] Re: Citrix Training Material > 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 [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.
