[Slightly OT] Announcing Two-Day Intensive Tutorial at RevCon West

[Dan Shafer]

In response to a number of requests, here is more detail about the two-day
optional pre-conference tutorial to be held at RevCon West in June in
Monterey.

================================================================================

At this summer's RevCon West gathering in Monterey, California, veteran
Revolution developers and instructors Chipp Walters, Devin Asay and Jacque
Gay will team up to teach a two-day hands-on tutorial. The class is designed
to give people who are relatively new to Revolution a way to feel up to
speed on the language and technology of Revolution before the main
conference begins so they are better prepared to benefit from the two dozen
technical sessions slated for the main conference.

The two-day tutorial, which is an optional added-cost event, will begin with
the assumption that the student knows little if anything about Revolution,
and will use a project basis to take the student through the basics of
Revolution stack building and essential Transcript scripting.

Students will learn how to create stacks, lay out components, add content,
script for basic user interaction, test, and debug their applications. There
will be considerable emphasis also on Revolution and the Internet.

The two-day tutorial workshop is priced at $595 including all materials,
hands-on instruction, and lunch for both days. Early Bird pricing of $449 is
in effect until April 25. For details and to sign up for the tutorial and
the conference, go to http://www.revconwest.com.
