| 1600-2100 PDT (UTC-7) | JH | DRV203: Windows Driver Frameworks
This seminar provides comprehensive coverage of the design, coding, packaging, and debugging of Windows device drivers using the Windows Driver Foundation (WDF). Both KMDF and UMDF 2.0 are covered. The seminar focuses on drivers for hardware devices, but also is relevant for pseudodrivers (“software drivers”). |
USD 2000 (1750 thru March 19) |
Daily schedule: This seminar will be presented in an alternating lecture/lab format. The lecture portions will be presented during late afternoon/evening in US Pacific time (UTC-7), which corresponds to business mornings in e.g. UTC+8. The specific times during each day are in the table below. Learners will be expected to complete the lab exercises in the intervening hours on their own time. Each day’s lecture will begin with a review of a solution for, and questions inspired by, the previous day’s lab problem, to which all attendees will receive working solutions.
Important!!! To accommodate learners in various time zones around the world, the fourth and fifth lecture days are separated by a weekend plus one additional weekday. This allows extra time and flexibility for completion of the final lab problem (which will be lengthy) and for personal review of previous topics before the final lecture session.
The day-to-day schedule for the lecture portions will be as follows:
| First day | Second day | Third day | Fourth day | Fifth day | |
| 1600-2100 UTC-7 (Pacific Daylight Time) |

Enrollment: The “register” button above will take you our registration site.
We will send a “tickler” email about one month prior, to let you know about setup requirements for your computer(s). (Please add azius.com to your spam whitelist.)
Payment: The event registration site accepts all major credit cards, and payment by check. If you want to use a purchase order, simply use the “check” option and e-mail us your P.O.; we will send you an invoice.
Delivery: We will be using a virtual conference room environment. You will need a computer running Windows 7 or later, with a hardware configuration that is supported by your version of Windows, with a virtual machine environment that is running a second copy of Windows (this will be our driver development “target” machine). You must have an internet connection capable of receiving live, but low frame rate, video (showing lecture slides, example code, etc.) and good-quality two-way audio. We strongly recommend that you have two monitors so that you can watch the lecture material on one while keeping the second for your development and debug environment.

| 0900-1700 CEST (UTC+2) | JH | INT235: Core Windows Internals with Windows Performance Toolkit
This seminar combines our flagship Core Windows Internals seminar with instruction and practical exercises using the Windows Performance Toolkit. |
EUR 3950 |
Enrollment and payment: The “register” button in the table above will take you to the course description page at the web site of our host and partner, Enterprise Training Center. Please refer to payment details there.
We will send a “tickler” email about one month prior, to remind you to make your travel arrangements (where applicable) and let you know about setup requirements for your laptop. (Please add azius.com to your spam whitelist.)
Venue: The seminar is being held at ETC‘s facility in Vienna. Modecenterstraße 22, 1030 Wien, Austria (the Simmering district, near Gasometer Town).
Hotel: ETC has recommendations for hotels here. (map)
Travel: The closest major airport is of course Vienna International (VIE). You are responsible for your own travel and other expenses.
Ground transportation: The hotels on ETC‘s recommendations page are all within a short walk of the training center. You will need a taxi, rental car, or public transportation between the airport and the hotel. A car is estimated to take 15 to 25 minutes, depending on time of day and route. Alternately, you can take the airport train to Wein Mitte station, a one minute walk to the Landstraße station, and then the U3 underground to the Gasometer or Zippererstraße station (ETC is about equidistant to both): about 35 minutes total; or to the station recommended by your hotel. Vienna has an excellent public transit system; in our opinion you are very unlikely to need a rental car.
Meals: ETC will provide a range of snacks (fresh fruits, soft drinks, crackers, nut-mixes, sweets, coffee and tea) with access throughout the day, plus a 7 Euro lunch voucher (usable in four nearby partner restaurants). You are on your own for dinner. In addition to your hotel’s restaurant you will find numerous places to eat nearby, many within easy walking distance.
