SharePoint Developer credit class at DePaul University in Chicago
This looks like a great option to learn SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010 development while earning college credit at a well known University in Chicago.
It is rare to see universities offering classes on very current technologies not to mention offering college credit for a very current version and the future version of SharePoint.
