Microsoft 70-741 completion?
-
I wondered when this course was going to be complete? The 70-741 book has been out for some time now.
-
@Ian-Steele The objectives have been released but a lot of the functionality to create the labs for demos had not been. Practice Labs are being released end of April and we will complete that course at that time. 70-742 will follow shortly behind it.
-
Additionally the containers element of 70-740 would be handy.
-
@Jack-Hands Yes, we will complete that as we complete 70-741. T
-
Any update on 70-741?
-
@Ian-Steele Adam Gordon will start recording on May 1st to complete 70-741. Hope to have it done in a week.
-
I see this course has been removed?
-
@Ian-Steele Adam and Cherokee started recording 70-741 on Monday 5/8.
-
I know that this course was currently in production but why has the existing material been removed? I was halfway through the existing material and now have no access and also no access to the labs. So far the 70-740 and 70-741 half finished courses/materials has been shambolic and I'm starting to think I should have invested my funds elsewhere.

@Jack-Hands I'm sorry you are frustrated. When we originally recorded 740 and 741 labs were not available and Microsoft had not released all the of technologies associated with the product and it was frustrating. When the labs became available for 741 we made the decision to ditch the previously recorded episodes because we all felt that they were not the quality product we felt good about. We are clearly aware that there a few objectives missing from 740 and we have a host that is working on those. This is a new product with newly organized exam objectives - we could "talk" about them easily but we want to show them. We will get what has been recorded for 741 up as soon as possible so the lab is available as well.

@Angie How are 70-740 and 70-741 progressing through the pipeline? Do you have a rough ETA when the complete training will be released?

Crickets?

@Jordan-Mackie I got distracted after I read your first one :-) Sorry about that! 741 is complete and is up on the site. We are working on the schedule to fit those last few 740 shows to get it completed. Should be completed in the next 6 weeks. Hope this helps!
-
Although initially critical, I'm glad you've re-recorded all these shows. The material is well structured, Adam evidently knows his stuff and I feel the topics are covered a lot more in depth than they were previously. Kudos,
-
Any sense when the containers section of 70-740 will be released?
-
This is dependent on Adam's schedule of when we can get him. He's due to be here more often in the new few weeks. But that decision on when he covers a specific topic will be up to how he chooses to cover them.
Sometimes, the setup of some of the topics take a few hours to do before a single 30 minute episode is completed. At other times, as an SME (Subject Matter Expert), what you believed would be covered in a 30 minutes takes 3 to 4 episodes. So it's difficult say when a particular topic will be covered until we're at the last day of production then we know what topics are left.
Hope this helps!
