For anybody looking for training on the Microsoft Application Lifecycle tools one of the absolute best resources is Brian Keller’s ALM virtual machine.
The Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 ALM virtual machine and 21 hands-on-labs / demo scripts are now available for download.
All of the existing hands-on-labs / demo scripts were updated to reflect UI and workflow changes included in Update 1.
