"I'd like to thank BDA and Adam Hevenor, our fearless instructor, for offering this very topical course. There is a lot of interest in this new/old technology. The web has some very cool things happening again.
I've bought myself a few new books, have been searching for whatever I can find on the subject. My hands-on has been rather limited so far. That's where this class was of great value. It was good to hear from someone who's been using the technology for some time and could offer insight and opinions (we've all got our opinions). I also picked up on a few nice tool tips.
A big thank you to BDA for this cutting edge, low cost, training opportunity!"
