Dana, We've been so slammed with development work that we were lucky to schedule this one in 2007. We'll try to schedule another sometime before the end of the year, but can't promise at this point.
Respectfully, Adam Phillip Churvis Get advanced intensive Master-level training in C# & ASP.NET 2.0 for ColdFusion Developers at ProductivityEnhancement.com -----Original Message----- From: Dana Tierney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 25, 2007 7:21 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Is CF dying? (Of course not!) do you have any other sessions coming up? Just wondering -- June 4 is the beginning of a semester and is so not happening, even if i could get it approved by then. >$3,500, and we'd love to have you in the class.
