VISITORS: free transportation to/from the San Francisco International airport
LOCALS and VISITORS: easy access to public transit (BART [across the
street!], CalTrain, SamTrans) can help you get all over the San
Francisco Bay Area

Discounts are available for multiple registrations as well as
teachers/students. For more information and registration, go to
http://cyberwebconsulting.com and click on the "Python Training" link.
Unlike previous courses, we are limiting enrollment to a maximum of 15
attendees. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at
cyberweb-at-rocketmail.com.

For those who are interested in more "advanced" Python topics,
we'reoffering a follow-on course late Spring 2006 (most likely May).
Also, if there is sufficient interest, we may hold another one of
these "Intro to Python" courses down in Silicon Valley in April;
contact me directly if you're interested in this location.

Note: i will only send out ONE MORE REMINDER in January... yeah, i
don't like spam either. :-)

cheers,

as promised, this is the FINAL reminder i'll send out about our
upcoming Python course at the beginning of February. (Feb 1-3, 9a-5p

from out-of-town, there's a free shuttle directly from the San
Francisco airport, which is only about 2-3 miles away.

discounts available for multiple registrants as well as students,
teachers, and those with financial hardship. also, there is a
follow-on "advanced" course coming up in May. more details at
http://cyberwebconsulting.com

for advertising, with the possible exception of the local one?
