InterSystems DEVCON2010
 |
The InterSystems Academy provides hands-to-keyboard experience with Caché, Ensemble, and DeepSee. Two-hour sessions focus on the newest and most widely used InterSystems technologies. The Academy schedule encompasses Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday afternoons, plus Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, so most academies 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 academy session will fill up quickly. Academies are very popular, so please enroll early to get into the ones that are best for your schedule!
The schedule and descriptions for all InterSystems Academy sessions are found at the end of this brochure. You can sign up for academies when you register for the conference. There is no additional fee, but all Academy attendees must be registered for DEVCON2010.
