Update to the Windows Phone 8 Development course story from Nov 6th

Here’s an update to the Windows Phone 8 Development course story from Nov 6th. With the course now underway, you can read more about it here.

According to Charles Sturt University,

“The course, offered via distance education with the backing of Microsoft Australia, has attracted more than 400 developers from around the world and is the first of a range of courses CSU will offer from 2013 and beyond.
CEO of the University’s industry partner IT Masters Pty Ltd, Mr Martin Hale, said the strong response and positive feedback so far reflected the strength of CSU’s industry relations and the involvement of some of the industry’s most respected figures.
“The support of Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP), a global community of volunteer industry experts, was instrumental in getting this and a number of other planned free short courses established,” he said.
“It was fantastic to get access to the best people in the world to develop and run the course and the MVP Community has also been a great help with our Doctor of Information Technology students wishing to research Microsoft technologies and platforms.”
