RE: Palm OS Developer Classes Coming in August

[Ben Combee]

Sorry, no kickbacks here.  I won't go into details, but our classes are 
priced similar to other industry software development training courses, and 
the costs of the class go to pay for the material preparation and the cost 
of the classroom space and catering; we're not trying to make a lot of 
money in this area, we're just trying to recoup the costs of providing this 
service.

I'm sorry about using the term "nominal".  Too many viewings of "Star Trek 
II: The Wrath of Kahn" has given the word an alternate meaning. :)

As for online training: we've had some courseware online in the past, but 
even when offered for free, it wasn't used much.  However, it is an area 
that we continue to evaluate.  The PalmSource DTS and training 
organizations continue to look for ways that we can provide value to the 
developer world.

Wow, USD 1700 is "nominal" on your planet?!  I guess that exchange rate
must have really tanked since last time I looked...
