Hello, everyone in PloneBootcamps-land!


AMSTERDAM BOOTCAMP

I'm pleased to announce and open registration on my first bootcamp in 2008:

Amsterdam, the Netherlands
March 16-22, 2008
$550 USD
http://plonebootcamps.com/courses/amsterdam

This course is the first public bootcamp to comprehensively cover Plone 3 
technologies, while still be friendly for new-to-Plone and intermediate-Plone 
users. We'll cover everything you need to build, skin, deploy, and maintain a 
Plone site.

I expect this class to sell out quickly, so register soon!


PENN STATE SYMPOSIUM COURSES

Of all the Plone events scheduled so far in 2008, the one that excites me most 
is the Penn State Symposium. Info at 
http://weblion.psu.edu/plone-symposium-east-2008

It's the first time we've had a major event in cosponsorship with a 
university, and this promises to be a very affordable and informative 
conference. While not exclusively for universities, there will be at least 
one special track for universities, plus material for new-to-Plone, 
experienced-Plone users, nonprofit users, corporate users, and more. Do 
consider coming!

As we've done before the last few conferences, we're holding 2-day, 
value-priced courses open to both conference participants and the general 
public. There will be 3 courses:

Plone 3 Techniques: a two-day, hands-on course on "How do I use all this great 
new stuff in Plone 3?" Presented to much acclaim in Naples, I'm offering this 
again. This is aimed for experienced developers/integrators who understand 
Plone 2.x, but want to ramp up their skills on Plone 3. $250,

Successful Content Management for Plone: an excellent introductory course on 
how to evaluate Plone, how to use Plone, and a strong sense of what building 
a Plone site will feel like. There will be case studies of existing sites, 
and lots of information about how Plone may be right for you, and how to best 
use it. $250, http://plonebootcamps.com/courses/psu-cm
   [This is an 
excellent course for your boss/colleagues/clients!]

Skinning Plone: Ever popular! This course covers skinning Plone, focusing on 
best-of-breed, proven techniques, with a special focus on new technologies in 
Plone 3. $250, http://plonebootcamps.com/psu-skinning
