InterSystems Academy
The InterSystems Academy provides hands-to-keyboard experience with Caché and Ensemble. Two-hour and four-hour tutorials focus on the newest and most widely used Caché and Ensemble features. The Academy schedule encompasses Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday afternoons, plus Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, so most tutorials will be repeated several times during the conference. However, we’re strictly limiting class sizes in order to provide a more focused, faster-paced learning experience. That means each individual tutorial will fill up faster than ever. Academy tutorials are very popular, so please enroll early to get into the ones that are best for your schedule!
You can sign up for tutorials when you register for the conference. There is no additional fee, but all Academy attendees must be registered for DEVCON2008.
