School Starts Early This Year

The month of August is all about learning. After reading a recent Forrester survey revealing that out of 262 US IT decision makers, 41% of them have never heard of mashups we saw this as opportunity to help you polish your enterprise mashup knowledge and skills.
 
So here's what we have planned, a week of Free Mashup Training. The week of August 25th thru the 29th we will be hosting three one hour webinar training classes on topics ranging from mashup basics to a deep dive into the assembly and delivery of mashups. You are welcome to register for one or all, send this note to a friend or your boss but we promise that if you're part of that 41%, you'll come out of training ready for more.
