Big Nerd Ranch Launches Extreme Mentoring On-Site Training FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Atlanta, GA - April 17, 2002 - The Big Nerd Ranch Announces its New Extreme Mentoring On-Site Training Program. Big Nerd Ranch is now offering Cocoa training and Extreme Mentoring to organizations seeking on-site classes for their future Cocoa development teams. One week of intensive on-site training is followed by one week of on-site mentoring when your team is ready to begin development. Traditional training provides the knowledge your team needs in order to build applications in OS X. Building applications brings up new questions, and practical experience introduces problems that couldn't have been predicted during class. As with all learning, material that isn't immediately used is often forgotten. Extreme Mentoring reintroduces you to what you've forgotten, and allows your team to move forward quickly and efficiently. When your organization schedules a week of Big Nerd Ranch training, Aaron Hillegass, author of Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X, spends a week at your facility teaching your team the most comprehensive Cocoa course available (link to syllabus: http://www.bignerdranch.com/Classes/). At the end of that week, your team will be ready to build applications in OS X. When development begins, Big Nerd Ranch Mentor James DiPalma spends a week with your team, working through a practice application related to your eventual development goals. With your team, Jim applies Extreme Programming concepts, including programming in pairs, testing, creating coding standards and performing code reviews, nightly "releases," and flexible and adaptable design. For a complete description of the program, please visit http://www.bignerdranch.com/Classes/Onsite.html. Aaron Hillegass has more than 7 years of experience consulting and teaching for Apple and NeXT. James DiPalma has more than 6 years of experience with Apple and NeXT, focusing on design and software quality, AppKit, and InterfaceBuilder. Big Nerd Ranch also offers all-inclusive Cocoa training classes in a mountain lodge outside Asheville, NC.
