DOJ 2.0

jzuniga-akos 23rd Feb 2009

DOJ 2.0, simply means that when I was with MS a few years back, this idea was floated out to gain the Mind Share and thus fortify the adoption of MS products in IT shops. Most of these people can already receive such classes through local programs and I was a MS Trainer 8 years ago when the last big wave last this occurred.
A more properly sponsored government program would be training that consisted of basic programming in multiple languages, understanding core IT systems and the underlying architecture of systems like email.
MS will provide a washed up version of this information and leave these people with little chance of really "knowing" anything of value other than where to find that icon. I know because we rewrite a lot of MS training that is poorly produced and lacks anything that is useful between product versions.
