I love what you write, please keep it up. My company is adopting C#.Net for a major initiative, so we paid for expensive on-site training. The school was recommended by MicroSoft. We learned nothing, it was a complete waste of time and money for us and probably ruined any chance of funding for future training. How do you find good technical training for a group that is smarter than your average teacher? Hi Johanna, been reading your blog for several months now. I love what you write, please keep it up.
