ADVANCED SOFTWARE TRAINING ANNOUNCES 8 CLASSES FOR 2001
CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY FOR DATABASE-DRIVEN WEB DEVELOPMENT
***************************************************

By now, everyone in the web-enabled data community knows that Advanced Software Training (AST) is the global leader for technical training in the production of custom designed database-driven transactional web solutions.
AST is internationally known as the premier provider of hands-on training in the use of LASSO WEB DATA ENGINE and LASSO STUDIO. Developers from all over the world have attended our live classes – some are private consultants, some are independent web developers, and some are MS and IT executives from major companies like Boeing, Cisco Systems, Apple, to name a few. AST's flagship class, ENTERPRISE WEB DEVELOPER, enjoys the prestigious worldwide reputation for being the absolute best training of its kind available anywhere and has recently been recruited to conduct private trainings for governmental agencies such as the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

***************************************************
ONLY 160 PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND
THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER HANDS-ON LASSO TRAINING IN THE WORLD!
***************************************************

2000 was an exciting year for AST. We proved to the transactional web development community that we could deliver powerful live trainings that continually "dropped the jaws" of even the most sophisticated technical experts! Our 4-Day ENTERPRISE WEB DEVELOPER Class became the standard by which every other training is measured.

***************************************************
THIS YEAR – IN 2001, ONLY EIGHT (8) TRAININGS WILL BE OFFERED!
***************************************************

Due to a high demand for a broader scope of courses, we have decided to do fewer trainings this year and invest more time writing additional classes for the web development community. For that reason, only 8, ENTERPRISE WEB DEVELOPER Classes will be available all year.

WE WILL NOT COMPROMISE THE QUALITY OF THIS CLASS!

One of the key factors to the phenomenal success of our 4-Day ENTERPRISE WEB DEVELOPER Class is the limited number of participants in each class. To ensure everyone has all of the one-on-one time they need with their instructors, class size has always been limited to 20 people. THAT WILL NOT CHANGE – however, what that means is – ONLY 160 people will have the opportunity to attend this class in the year 2001.

We encourage anyone wishing to attend to make your reservations far in advanced.
