>Do you think Kevin would sell the training manuals separately from the training? Are these manual complete enough (in terms of hand holding you through a few examples) that they would be useful without being in the class. There is no real reason they should be; after all they are designed to be used in conjunction with the training class. But I have noticed that Kevin likes to do things right, so the question is worth asking.>

We've toyed with idea of taping the classes, but as you've pointed out I do like to do things right and it would take quite a bit on our part to get videos or computer-based training up to snuff! Right now I'm spending lots of time getting our "Summer '99" release ready (lots of work!), but after its release we'll re-examine our options for alternative training.

Realistically, as Stephen Russell pointed out, there's nothing quite like taking the class in person...there's lots of interaction with "real-world" student questions and problems that are answered that you can't get with other types of training. There's nothing quite like seeing your application used as an example in the class!
