Alright already, we'll do it. But just for a few. And on our turf.
Category SNAPPS Quickr TrainingFor ten years, I've taken the same question about once a week. "Do you guys do training?"
Of course we have Collaboration University and the new Webinar Series, UKLUG, IamLUG, TriLUG, MWLUG, NLLUG, ILUG, UG, UG, UG...but while those are (excellent) lecture and demo style training, what these folks want is to have an expert like Viktor, Troy, Jerald, Julian or myself (a stretch, but I do architect great solutions once in a while) come to them and learn from the experts. Side by side, hands on. It's never been our business model. But after ten years and nobody really doing this at the level we know can be done, I am giving in.
SNAPPS will be delivering a Lotus Quickr Development Boot Camp, three full days of hands-on workshop style training for developers of all skill levels but geared to the company running Quickr and wanting to take it from out-of-the-box to the next level and start getting real returns on the investment. We spent the last month developing a syllabus, identifying a local Kansas City venue and have decided to go ahead - for 12 people. TWELVE.
Registration opens today. The Boot Camp is April 12-14, with an optional half day on the 15th. All the details are here. Hope you can make it, as one of the 12. We're buying lunch, the hotel is $99, and if you fill all the slots, I'll buy everyone a nice dinner one of the nights (you heard it here, I'm not making this offer on the site).
If this works, maybe we'll repeat it in another city. We'll see...
I do realize that with only 12, there are excellent jokes about Cylons, disciples, and WW2 movies in there. I'm working on it.
