Why is there no Microsoft Certified Master program targetted at developers?
In the lower level certifications, developer technology is all over the place. At the highest level (Microsoft Certified Architect), the Solutions track appears to be a good fit for high level application designers and architects. MCA requires an MCM as a prerequisite. However, none of the MCM tracks are targeted towards development. ...
What is a good balance for having developers learn at work

What are some interesting fringe programming topics that might have hands-on training?
Whenever training topic questions are asked, the answers are fairly typical, and involve a pretty limited subset of topics like OO, design patterns, algorithms, web services, SQL, etc., but I wonder if there are some fringe topics that are still applicable to the programming field and would give me a more rounded approach to development....
Training new employees on undocumented code
Our company has a large codebase (2500+ classes/interfaces in just the core alone, many more in other projects) for our flagship software product. We've never really hired more than one developer at a time, so we don't have a real training process. We're going to be bringing in 2-5 more developers now, and probably more in the near futur...

Great examples of self-paced labs and exercises
It is probably a safe bet that many of us are what they call Tactile / Kinesthetic Learners meaning that we learn best when we are physically doing something as opposed to listening to an online tutorial or reading a book. My goal with this question is to derive a list of books or online resources that serve as superb examples of self-p...

My company is looking for software we can use to administer training sessions for our users. The software would need to include the ability to test users. These are not technical users; they are in-house users of our custom-built software. So far, it looks like Blackboard is the best offering out there, but it's probably too expensive, ...
