training. We mamaged to talk it into a great discount on some on-site
training in flash for a bunch of people, and some classroom training in
actionscript for me.
Someone mentioned they weren't impressed with NH's classes. though
these will be our first classes with them, I will say this. I've talked
to 2 different people from NH at 2 different sites. I'm quite impressed
with one and totally unimpressed with the other.
The one we're currently working with turns out to be an idiot who can't
schedule things to save his life. On the other hand, he's a salesman,
not a trainer. The one we will probably work with going forward should
we continue training with NH is a nice guy who checks things before he
gives you a definitive answer and has been more helpful than I would
have expected, considering I was calling with questions about training
from another NH site. He's also the guy who sticks around once a month
when NH hosts the KY CF/MMUG.
So I think that the quality of training, sales, etc. is going to be very
site-specific. But that's just initial impression, and not a deep analysis.
