Bellevue, WA -- (press release excerpt) -- BSquare Corporation today announced availability of the official training curriculum for the Microsoft Windows CE .NET operating system. BSquare will offer both introductory and advanced classes enabling industry professionals to choose the right curriculum for their specific needs.

Microsoft Corp. selected BSquare to create the authorized Microsoft Windows CE .NET training classes. This multi-track curriculum was designed exclusively for project managers, platform porting engineers, and system/application engineers. The courses provide students with the knowledge they need to build high-quality embedded solutions and get them to market quickly. Leading experts teach the interactive courses at BSquare headquarters in Bellevue, WA. The same courses will also be offered internationally and at customer sites.

The new training curriculum consists of three courses: a single one-day introduction to Windows CE .NET and two advanced four-day classes. These classes are designed to fit into two different five-day tracks. The first track is for 'Platform Porting', with engineers bringing up a new hardware platform and creating a Board Support Package (BSP) on Windows CE. NET. The second track is for systems engineers implementing custom services and applications on an existing hardware platform and BSP.

Project managers and decision-making executives who simply need to learn the basics about Windows CE .NET can take only the one-day introductory class. They can use this course to evaluate whether the Windows CE .NET operating system is the right technology for a particular project. All classes use both lectures and hands-on labs to ensure that students grasp key concepts.

The course are:

Introduction to Windows CE .NET (MSDN 2530) is an introductory survey course on Windows CE .NET. There is no prerequisite for this one-day class, but students should have some background in either Windows programming or embedded systems development. Topics include an overview of Windows CE .NET features, general embedded development, configuring and building with Platform Builder, and debugging an operating system image.
Developing a Board Support Package (BSP) for Windows CE .NET (MSDN 2535) is an advanced four-day course in Windows CE .NET platform porting. Students in this class are expected to have knowledge of C programming and embedded systems. This course covers all the components necessary to bring up a new platform and develop a Board Support Package on Windows CE .NET. Students will learn to write bootloaders, the OAL, and numerous examples of common device drivers.
Building Custom Solutions Using Windows CE .NET (MSDN 2540) is an advanced four-day course in Windows CE .NET system development. Students in this class are expected to have knowledge of C or C++ programming. This course is designed to aid companies that have purchased or developed their hardware and BSP, and are focused on implementing the proper features on their platforms. These features may consist of networking components, real-time communications, multimedia capabilities, shell customizations, and target application development.

The current class schedule includes the following dates at BSQUARE's Bellevue headquarters: 2530+2540 on Jan 14th and 2530+2535 on Feb 4th at $3000USD for the week. BSquare will also offer these classes on site at customer locations and internationally. Additional dates and details will be posted on BSquare's website as they become available.
