[OT] iPhone dev class in Raleigh/Durham in March

Hi,

It's Dan Grigsby founder of the iPhone dev community site and podcast Mobile Orchard.  I know this is OT for a Java list, but I'm hoping for a bit of leeway:

I'll be teaching the Mobile Orchard Beginning iPhone Development For Web Programmers class in Raleigh/Durham on March 24-25.  Class synopsis:  Web programmer (Java, Ruby, PHP, Python, or .NET) to iPhone programmer in two days.

Intensive two day class.  Leave with seven compact, but complete iPhone apps that use Core Location, Core Data, navigation UIs, shake, undo/redo, web services and hybrid web/native UIs. Memory management, properties, protocols and categories exercises.  3.0SDK.  Small class size, experienced instructor. From Mobile Orchard, the #1 iPhone developer news site and podcast.

I started, helped start, co-organized or regularly present at the Minneapolis iPhone developers, Cocoaheads, Ruby and BarCamp groups.  Sadly, no Java in there, though I'm learning Scala.  Point is:  I'm fond oflocal groups.  The people who are active in these groups are fun to have in class, so I'll knock a couple hundred bucks off the price and it'll be $899 during early reg. Use "java" as a coupon code.

Hoping my good-standing and contributions to the dev and startup communities offsets any feather-ruffling that me pitching the class to the list might elicit.  Ryan Daigle and Jay Thrash can vouch for me.  In addition to keeping my kids in new shoes and fruit snacks, the class generates the income that enables work on the site and podcast full-time.

Thanks,

Dan
