Learning by Teaching
	Up To Date
We keep abreast of the latest technologies by preparing course materials and then teaching classes at a local university's continuing education department.
By preparing our own course materials, we concentrate on the topics essential to making our own programming practices more productive.
Adaptability
Our instructors are not limited to a script. Because our instructors come from the working world, they bring a wealth of practical experience to the classroom from which they can address the specific needs of an individual group of students.
