Any particular area of webSphere technology you are interested in finding hands on training for?

WAS V7.0. Thanks

Hi WASAdminitrator,

   If you are starting with websphere i suggest:

  The oficial path:
  New to WebSphere
  www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/new...

  I think that you can start with education is free and very good starting point:
   publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ieduas...

  Free IBM WebSphere Education videos!
  www.websphereusergroup.org/streggiari/bl...

  Also have the all the information of the products in infocenters:
  www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=s...

  Redbooks (practical approach to products, with examples and screens):
  www.redbooks.ibm.com/portals/websphere

  For technical articles:
  www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/

  For support:
  www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/Ove...

  and for questions and so on...linkedind, facebook, Global WebSphere Communitty....


    For training with WAS 7 I think that the better way is to download WAS for Developers

www.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/ws/...

  www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247913....

  and with education assist start installing and training


  hope this helps,

reagrds,

WAS Admin, you found the precise course that the WebSphere Education team would recommend. Our Expert Arena offering is designed exactly what you are looking for...a pre-installed WAS environment you can access remotely that include hands-on exercises from our courses. 

You could complement the Expert Arena with our instructor-led courses for WebSphere Applicaiton Server V7. Many of the core courses are available as instructor-led online or self-paced virtual. The training path for WebSphere Application Server V7 administration skills is a great tool to get an idea of the courses available for different skill areas.
