Macromedia MAX is conspicuously missing from this breakdown. MAX breaks
down to about $725 per day. I personally like MAX, and would rather
attend it than CFFUN. But that was when MACR would allow attendees to
have MGM or Universal Studios to themselves on of the nights!

IMHO, Figleaf is worth every damned penny and then some. When I was just
starting out in '97 - '98, I had Steve Drucker, Charlie Aerhart, Simon
Horowith and Dave Watts as instructors for a wide range of courses. I've
never taken a class at TeraTech, but if I were in DC to take another,
I'd go to FigLeaf. I took a class at FigLeaf called "CF Top Gun" that
taught some cool techniques that some longtime developers don't even
think to use today!
Just my unsolicited .02.
