Hi, As you might know my main income source is providing Perl training. Usually I do it on-site at companies but once in a while I try to open "open registration" courses for which every company can send one or more employees.
The problem is that the latter is a huge administrative headache and in the last year most of the "open registration" classes were delayed many times and when they were finally opened they were still too small to provide good income. I don't want to get into another set of such classes and then delay them as I am not able to fill the classes. That's not good for me nor for the clients. I don't have marketing department or advertising budget, I mostly rely on word-of-mouth, that is you people on the mailing list who know me and think that I can deliver good content. So I'd like to have an informal poll about opening a few such trainings in May 2009. Specifically I would like to know if you think you would/could attend any of the following classes and if you think there are others in your company who should and could attend. (The "could" in both cases refer to available time, manager and budget approval) Obviously this is not a commitment on your part. The classes I am planning to open * Fundamentals of Perl (4 days) http://www.pti.co.il/fundamentals.html * Advanced Perl (4 days), (References, Modules, OOP) http://www.pti.co.il/advanced.html * Test Automation Using Perl (4 days, as I am enhancing the current syllabus) http://www.pti.co.il/qa_automation.html http://szabgab.com/perl_in_test_automation.html * Programming in Perl 6 (1-2 days) No syllabus yet, I am working on it but it will assume good Perl 5 knowledge and will include lots of hands on experimenting. If you have questions please ask on the mailing list or send it privately to me. If you would like to attend please let me know privately. regards Gabor -- Gabor Szabo http://szabgab.com/blog.html Perl Training in Israel http://www.pti.co.il/ Test Automation Tips http://szabgab.com/test_automation_tips.html _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
