[Luis Ibanez]

    ** Reminder - Early Registration deadline is May 15th **

Developer's Training Week will be held June 9 – 13, 2008, in Albany, NY.

Details
----------

Developer's Training Week will cover our open-source projects including
VTK, ITK, ParaView and CMake. These hands-on courses are appropriate for
both new users wishing to quickly gain proficiency and experienced
developers requiring advanced customization skills.
As an added bonus, this year the VTK course will be split into two
tracks: Beginner and Advanced. Users who have taken the VTK course in
the past are encouraged to attend the Advanced VTK track to learn new
skills and functionalities that haven’t been covered in previous VTK
trainings.

Developer’s Training Week is a great opportunity to meet some of the key
contributors to these open-source projects as well as other users in the
open source community.

As a course attendee, you will receive:
- A complete set of course notes
- The VTK User's Guide
- The Visualization Toolkit textbook
- The ITK Software Guide
- The ParaView Guide
- Mastering CMake
- Snacks daily
- Lunch (Monday through Thursday)
- A dinner reception on both Monday and Wednesday evening

The week will be divided into 9 half-day sessions, allowing attendees to
customize their experience based on their individual requirements.
The cost for registration, per half-day session, is $350 on or before
May 15th and $400 from May 16th on. We are also offering a discounted
full week registration rate of $2600 on or before May 15th and $2950
from May 16th on. Additional student or group discounts are available
upon request. Note that attendees must register for a minimum of 3
half-day sessions.

No prior experience is necessary; however, attendees are expected to
have basic knowledge of C or C++ in order to fully participate in the
interactive exercises.

Kitware courses incorporate both technical presentations and practical
exercises designed to reinforce learning. For an optimal learning
experience each attendee should bring their own laptop computer to the
courses. Approximately two weeks before the courses, attendees will
receive detailed instructions on how to download, install and test all
necessary software on their laptop computer. A limited number of course
computers are available for attendees who are unable to bring one.
