    TMurgent is continuing our world renowned MSIX training with remote learning.  Since the pandemic started, we have heard from some customers that they need the training but just still can't, or don't want to, travel.
     
    This class is widely considered to be the ultimate place to learn about MSIX Packaging, and will be delivered remotely, allowing you to train from work or home without travel.
     
    Book With Confidence / No Cancelation Policy: Whenever a single student is registered and confirmed for a class, we will not cancel the class. Period.
     
    The Masters Level MSIX Packaging class will be run by TMurgent.  This 8-day class (4 hours/day) will provide you with both theory and practical hands-on experience in our training lab.  This class is both for those who are new to MSIX, and those with prior experience already.
     
    The class will be held online at a time optimally convenient to Europeans and Americans.
     
    Note: The class is an 8-day class for 4 hours each day.
     

    Prerequisites:

    The course is designed for people with a general background in IT and/or Packaging. We take students with or without prior experience in App-V.

    There are no hard pre-requisites to be able to take the class, however, the following are helpful:

    • Knowledge and experience with general Microsoft Server Administration.
    • Knowledge and experience with SQL Server Administration.
    • Experience with other "packaging" techniques helpful.
    • Experience with App-V Administration and Sequencing.
    Remote students (only) will be required to build your own VMs at your site prior to the start of the class:
    • Each student will require two Windows VMs.
    • Our pre-class prep kit will provide detailed written instructions, a video introduction to building the VMs, and installers for the tools needed.
    • Any type of hypervisor may be used, but the student must have access to create and revert to "snapshots".
    • You will need additional storage on a share for the application installers and created packages.
    • It is highly recommended that students have two monitors, microphone, video camera, and earphones.
    In-person students (when available) need to bring a laptop with wireless lan to tap into lab equipment provided.

    Syllabus

    IT Pro Masters Packaging for MSIX

    The three major portions of the class are:
    • Concepts: Provides an in-depth understanding of the underlying concepts of Packaging, especially for Application Virtualization and MSIX. We also cover the "Windows API", from the prospective of the IT Pro - helping you to understand how the app intends to integrate with the OS and the End-User.  With this core knowledge in place, you are now ready to learn the packaging techniques.
    • MSIX Packaging: The other heart of the class. Demonstration of "best practice" techniques and techniques to package in MSIX and Psf, and issues to look out for and alternatives to consider.
    • Debugging Skills. Provides a leveling-up in your ability to understand how Microsoft Windows and Applications interact, and practical use of the many tools available to debug broken applications and systems.
