Hey Peter – You may want to get in contact with my friend Tom Bray (http://www.tombray.com) because he just jumped into the Flex training field himself over here in California.
Personally, I prefer to learn anything new through working on my own experiments and fleshing out my own ideas – i.e. working from scratch. Depends on your audience though, for programming beginners this may not work as well.
hi Peter, for what its worth, what I would like to get out of attending a training course is to have indepth knowledge of specific features and to know how to best apply the technology.
As I have learnd from one of your books, it seems that coding best practices are fundamental.
And also if we had good training courses near where I live I’d say that I would defenetely try and attend a training course.
