The Internals classes are not to be missed! I go to user group meetings, attend conferences and hang out on this list to learn these days. Once in a while I take a new features class, but that's rare. Conferences teach me more.
Cary is teaching a clinic in NYC in July... I don't think I can get off work (we've got two very high priority projects, both with very short timelines) but I'll try. Steve Adams is planning on teaching a class in NYC in the fall... oh do I want to go to that one too! Rachel --- "Fink, Dan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I concur.
