I'm still upset I missed the one in NC! I shall bide my time... ;-)

Jim - So are you waiting for another class in NC?

I would love to attend the class if it is within driving distance (< 6h). E.g. Reston, VA or Philadephia, PA.

I'd also be interested but it would have to be in the greater NY/NJ metro area.

I was lucky enough to have attended the NC training and loved it. The format was fantastic -- just the right split between theory and praxis. I *wish* there was someone doing a similar workshop for Haskell.

Location isn't good for me, would consider attending if you have a class in the VA/DC/MD area. Price is pretty high too though.

For your next class, why don't you hook up with the local chapter of a professional group (such as ACM) and have them sponsor your training session? That creates a ready-made market for your offering.

I've also considered attending the training but did not sign up for the following reasons:
1) Location. If it was in VA/DC/MD (or driving distance from there), I would have attended.
2) Price is high (+ hotel & travel costs)
3) After watching your screencasts and looking at the class schedule I felt like it would be almost the same content. Maybe you could point out what the differences between the class and the screencasts would be.

Luc -
Hopefully my most recent posting addresses your first two concerns so I won't say more about those points here. What I do want to talk about is how the class differs from my screencasts.
The classes are primarily different from the screencasts in that we go into much more detail on each topic, especially gen_server and the OTP bits. Also, there are more lab exercises which allow everyone to get very comfortable with Erlang. I'd say everyone in the last class had at least one "aha!" moment even though most of them had watched the 'casts.
There's only so much you can cover in two days and I chose to focus on the practical basics. My goal for everyone who attends the class is to be comfortable enough with Erlang they could look at the source for a complex project, like webmachine or even CouchDB, and be able to figure out what's going on.
