Nate, Sorry but if someone wants to learn they will make the time to attend I fail to see how this is an issue. I personally have never seen any project like CakePHP or company offer training to general public like this and make a schedule fit others instead of one that fits the people doing the training all do as we have, they set the schedule and people who want and can attend do so. Anyone who can not attend the first tutorials we offer can choose another date if they are offered again. This first 4 training sessions is only the start, and some of them may be repeated. Read my initial response, this is just a start and will eventually be offered in more times zones and multiple languages. This training is something we have been working on for a long time and with the release of 2.0 and advances in the tools we are using we felt the time was right to do it now. Keep in mind this is not just sitting and watching a video tutorial, this is full interactive training by those of us who are providing you with CakePHP. If you want something to fit your schedule you could hire http://cakedc.comto offer you training at any time or any where you like. -- Larry E.
