Hi all, It has been a while since I have gone to a worthy training session. I have to admit that at the beginning looking at the SF training info on the web I did not quite understand why they would need 5 days of training.
Well to my surprise, the last week (July 14-19) has been so far the most productive training session I have take in a while. It was worth every penny and effort to get to Amarillo, I though I would have time to get to know Amarillo, but nope, I ended up getting tire at the end of the day due to all the information provided during each session.
The SF Team is just great, Steve, Ben, Justin and Trent participated all day, every day of the training taking care of not only SF related question. They answered every question asked by us, and with great detail in most cases, they provided us with a huge, nice colored and professionally binded training curriculum book, printed with sample code for all 23 chapters.
During the class, a new project was created to explain all chapters and the source code was provided immediately via an FTP server for the class and of course a very solid and fast wireless Internet access all the time.
The food was pretty good, with a different menu everyday and of course, plenty of soda, water, ice tea, coffee and pastries to keep us busy during the long day of training.
They even went the extra mile and show us what they have been able to do with SF in their Medical Application which is filled with tons of great features for the end user. And the initial version of the new SF Sample application called StrataFlix which show us a new way to design front end applications with a clean and fully commented code.
Button line is that a couple of developers here have mentioned how good the training was, and I honestly did not have that expectation, but after taking the training class in Amarillo I can proudly say that it was WORTHY EVERY PENNY! and I fully recommend it to any SF developer.
There si much more to say but I will leave that to other members of the class.
