We're finally running a round of courses again - on November 17-18th and 20-21st. Short notice, but a lot of things had to click to make this happen.
The courses will follow the very same model that have made the last eight rounds of courses a massive success, but this time it'll focus entirely about Umbraco 4 which will be released by the end of this year and which gained use-for-new-projects status with the release of Beta 2 last Friday (more on that later this week).
So we'll look at Masterpages, XSLT Debugging with Visual Studio, the new Event model, Live Editing, Membership Providers, Package creation and many of the other improvements that'll make Umbraco 4 a milestone in Web CMS. By attending the course you'll be among the very first to become experts and certified on the new platform.
The agendas for the courses are as follows:
