XPe Training

[Guest]

I am looking for a training course for XPe based in the UK.

From my searching, Microsoft only provide the following 2 day course:

Windows XP Embedded with Developing Embedded Solutions for Windows XP
Embedded: Course 2545.

Upon completion of the course, students will have an understanding of:

Windows XP Embedded and its architecture.
How to install and use the Windows XP Embedded tool set.
How to build custom components and import these into the component
repository.
How to build and deploy Windows XP Embedded images to reference hardware.

This seems quite a basic course. I want to be able to adapt XP drivers for
XPe and add auto boot applications. Do I have any other options for training?

Thanks

You don't need to adapt the drivers, XPe is just XPPro in legobrick
form, you just need to learn how to make driver components and whatnot.
There's a couple of books out, one by Sean Liming over there, which tell
you most of what you need to know.

Do you feel XPe does not merit a training course? It looks like that from
the lack of courses!!

Rightly said - Go through the Sean liming's Advanced XPe Embeedded
Development.The Step by Step covers only the basics.This should be good
enough to start of. Later ofcourse , the group members are always there

Training course? Bah, in my day we didn't have no training course, we
learned things for ourselves, in the snow, uphill both ways. And we
considered ourselves lucky! Tell techies nowadays that you spent 5 years
hammering strings of HEX into a machine with an orange screen and no N
key on it and they won't believe you...

The MOC 2545C XPe training course is very similiar to the books with lots of
hands on labs. Having a live instructor to answer questions and hear their
development approaches is the advantage of the class.

I don't know who teaches the course in UK, but you can go to
msdn.microsoft.com\embedded and find a training partner. MEDC will be in
Nice, France in June, and they will have a few XPe sessions and hands-on
labs. http://www.microsoft.com/europe/medc/

Why would you need an 'N' key anyway! You must have a funny idea about
HEX

PS: Orange! You were lucky ... (etc)

For all the yes and no and getting out of things... I used to have a
long fingernail I'd jab into the hole...

Hex.. with a KEYBOARD!!! Orange "Screen" !!!!

KeyRist, you must be a young one..

You ain't programmed till you toggled in the boot loader for the card reader
with the front panel switchs, then run the short deck that you HAND punched
that brought up the highspeed paper tape reader so you could haul in the
basic disk system so you could boot the OS.... and then went to work on the
TTY.

As for courses and second party books, uh... what are those? I though you
got the manual out and read it cover to cover a couple of times and the
started coding.....
