A great training program I stumbled across today that could be worthwhile doing if you're keen to start developing on the SharePoint platform. Maybe you are developing and would feel this to be worthwhile. Whatever the case, its a free online course and you receive a graduation package once you complete it at the end :-) Theres also some discounts for some MS exams so check it out.

Ramp up course covers:

1) Web Parts

2) Data Lists

3) Event Handlers

4) Workflow

5) Silverlight Web Parts
