I get asked questions like this all the time.

Websites 401 Launches Today!

Only a couple more hours until we teach our first Websites 401 class. I am really looking forward to this class tonight as it will get real people working on our applications. We’ll be able to see just how easy they really are to use and get good feedback from the public. It is going to be a small group tonight, probably only 6 or 7 attendees but that will allow us to give more personal attention to everyone there. I’ll post again after the class with feedback on how it goes.

Signing out for now.
