We'll use this area to tell you about events we're holding, or where you can find us and also about the training we're offering.

Get in touch to tell us what training you need... make the subject line "training requests".  We're interested to hear what type of technical training you'd prefer… e.g. instructor-led in person, instructor-led online, hands on labs, E-learning / VOD, self-paced documentation or something else? And to put it in context for us, tell us what type of developer you are… Are you an IT Pro - building and deploying enterprise solutions for your employer, an ISV- building and selling solutions to enterprises, an Android developer offering developer services or adding collaboration capabilities to your apps, or a Systems Integrator - delivering solution integration and customization services to enterprises.
