on Wed, 01/04/2012 - 03:37

Alessandro Pilotti a Microsoft MVP will be holding a Free Training on high performance Drupal on IIS 7 with Windows Server 2008. This training sounds like a great opportunity to gain a lot of knowledge on IIS so make sure to check it out if your at DrupalCon 2012 in Denver.

You sure can't beat free, hands on introductions to Application Request Routing, WinCache, and WebFarm Frameworks which are all topics I plan to cover in detail here in the future. If I can make it to Denver this year you can bet I'll be at this training. So I hope to see you all there.
