Not working for a Microsoft Partner? Or want to learn on your own?

For classroom training, check out the list of Microsoft Certified Partners for Learning Solutions to find a training on Visual Studio 2008.

For self-paced learning, check out the MSDN Virtual Labs specifically for Visual Studio and Visual Studio Team System. Also the MSDN On-Demand Webcasts from the US might be worth a look. And to conclude my list (although there are many more possibilities), there is the Visual Studio 2008 Training Kit.
