I had a dream last night, my first training wasn't in Pleasanton, didn't exist in '95 but in Mountain View. Had a woman instructor, name has long since been purged. But she recommended La Fondue in Saratoga for dinner and have returned there many times since. Great experience. And the class was good too.
I'm a strong believer in starting with the classes and building on that basic knowledge with the do it yourself training. I'm not sure as many people take the classes anymore and I think that's a lost. Performance Tuning was my all time favorite which I even took twice in v2 and v4 ! I'm looking forward to 7.5 classes at WWRUG in November. Hope you've all signed up ... what an opportunity to have the classes included!
