Dunn Training for CSLA...?

I did a search on training and saw a couple of posts in the past talking about Dunn Training for CSLA.  Does anyone have any experience with this group? 

Rocky... If you read this, are you familiar with this group?  If not, do you have  recommendation for someone to get some training?

P.S - I know the book is a great resource... I've read through it... I was just looking for more resources.

Thanks!

Dunn Training is the official traning company for CSLA. They licensed the rights to do the training from me, and I think they do a very good job.

The current class is three days of mostly hands-on work, assuming no knowledge of CSLA and walking through all the main concepts and coding practices.

They are putting together a more advanced five day "master class" that'll be offered later this year (just twice a year I think). That class will have more lecture, but still some hands-on lab time, and it'll be pretty intense because they plan to cover CSLA, all the data options and all the interface options (Windows, web, WPF, WF, WCF, etc).

While I think the book and ebooks are great resources, training is very valuable as well.

And for longer term mentoring, as well as architecture, design and development assistance I obviously strongly recommend Magenic. Magenic effectively sponsors CSLA .NET by employing me and giving me the time to do what I do. And working at Magenic means I get to work with a lot of very smart and enthusiastic people - and I love that!

Rocky,

Has Magenic ever worked with a company in Canada before? Are there any issues with them sending a consultant across the border to work on a project?

We will have 4 developers taking part in the Toronto CSLA Class, provided it runs, but I am thinking that having a CSLA Consultant come on board for a period to assist us in getting the ball rolling so to speak would be largely beneficial.

I have already sent an email to the "info" email address of Magenic (have not heard back from them yet), but is there someone specific you think I should contact in regards to this?

Thanks in advance.

@ MGervais.

Just FYI... I'm trying to get approved to go to the Toronto Dunn Training course so hopefully that will help make sure they have it.

I should find out by next week. :)
