Visual CE and Associated Tools Training Classes
SYWARE, Inc. offers training classes in the use of Visual CE
and its associated development tools. We plan to offer classes about twice a year.
The classes are usually held near our corporate headquarters in Cambridge, MA.
The next available classes are the intermediate and advanced classes being held
May 5 and 6, 2008 at the Marriott Boston North in Woburn MA. These classes offer
instruction on using Visual CE and other SYWARE tools to create mobile
data entry applications. The cost is $299 for the intermediate class
(May 5), $299 for the advanced class (May 6), or $499 for both. Each class is a full day
of instruction and includes a continental breakfast, box lunch, and afternoon snack.
A limited number of rooms are available at the Marriott.
