Forefront Identity Manager 2010 Ramp Up

At my job role, I have being asked several times about what resources I would recommend to technical consultants that want to start with Identity Management solutions. Fortunately we at Microsoft  have a recommended training roadmap created for internal staff that - again fortunately - uses lots of public resources. While I cannot share here internal resources, I think it is good for building ILM/FIM technical community to share what training resources our experts recommend. So here it goes, plus some bonus links Smile.

Happy learning!!
