Windows Server 2008 R2 course concentrates on performance, web, management, and other server solution scenarios. For example, you’ll find guidance on developing applications for “many-core” scale, enable efficient “trigger-started” services, new Windows PowerShell features, integrating solutions with the File Classification Infrastructure, and building Web Platform extensions. We have also included help on how to automate your dev and test environment with VHD and Hyper-V API’s.
