If your budget allows it, I would recommend taking one of the courses offered by WindRiver. My company brought in one of their trainers to teach a class on-site and it was excellent. They provided hands-on programming activities and a lot of information. If you are new to the concepts of real-time or embedded programming, they provided the necessary background information, and even if you were already familiar with these (as I was), there was plenty of useful training specific to VxWorks and Workbench. I believe they also organize their own courses, in addition to coming to companies. Course Schedule

agreed; the vxworks way is sometimes a bit different to what you're used (depending where you come from). The courses give a lot of info so you'll know where to look when you encounter a problem. Depending on the number of developers you can consider to customize a training. I've done that and was happy with the result. This way you can fast-forward through the been-there-done-that parts.
