Expert's Corner
Seasons Greetings!

Jeff Jensen — Intertech Principal, Consultant and Instructor

Hello and welcome to the December, and final ’07 edition, of the Intertech Newsletter! Before diving into the newsletter overview, let me say thanks to all of our students and customers. 2007 was Intertech’s best sales year ever… we’re honored by and appreciate your business and support. 

• Tips on how to manage your way through the holiday parties
• Three insights for project managers who are tasked with driving projects through the holiday season
• The first in a series of Intertech Oxygen Blast Podcasts. This inaugural Podcast is on Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and delivered by Andrew Troelsen, Intertech Partner, Instructor, and Best-Selling author.
• A how-to architecture article on integrating .NET and Java using web services
• A whitepaper on how to maximize your training investment by Intertech Partners, James White and Tom Salonek

In addition to our content, we have some new and ongoing offers: 

• If you’re looking to maximize your year-end training budget, check out the Intertech Flex 50. The Flex 50 gives you 50 days of training for $20K. These enrollments can be used for any Intertech Complete course (the savings is 20-35% depending on the course).
• The first Oxygen Blast for 2008 is set for Jan. 25th. It’s on Spring! Spring is a lightweight open source application framework that utilizes simple plain old Java objects (JavaBeans) to construct applications that previously were only possible with technologies like EJB and mounds of JDBC code. This Oxygen Blast is being delivered by James White, Intertech Partner and Instructor. This event will fill so register early.
• Limited seats remain in Intertech’s upcoming Complete Spring - December 17-19, Complete C# 2005 – January 14-18, and Core Distributed Application Development with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 – January 7-9. These courses are expected to fill. Register early.
• The Intertech sponsored Twin Cities Java User Group and Visual Studio Team System Minnesota are ongoing free resources for Java and .NET developers.
• If you are on the Microsoft side of the world, check out www.MicrosoftIncentives.com. If you see an offer that looks like it would be a win for your firm, give us a call at 651-994-8558 +23 and we’ll send the savings your way!
