No I wouldn't do generic training because that's just too wide open. All of .NET is a HUGE topic and if anybody wants to walk away with something useful you have to kind of pick an area and go with that.

.NET Desktop is something that'll be hard to find. I have a fair bit of experience with both WinForms and WPF but teaching it is very difficult because almost all the things you need learn are very small nit-pickety little things that you won't be able to remember without looking up anyway. Web is easier in that respect because there are many common patterns that are used throughout the industry even on other platforms and in my case my target audience would be Web Connection or FoxPro Web developers (or those interested in that) in the first place.

Not sure if it will happen unless there's a lot of interest. It's a lot of work putting two-days of material together especially when doing a 'from-scratch` type of training.

I need to focus on learning C# and Winforms or WPF and MS SQL or Postgres. Unless it is really easy to take the concepts you are teaching and apply them to non-web programming (e.g. maybe overall class design or something?).
