Technical Training

Jazkarta's class at WHOI was one of the best technical classes we've had. Nate really tailored the class to our specific needs. He was able to work effectively with employees who had very varied levels of technical expertise, and whose specific interest in Plone was also different. From designers to sysadmins to data managers and editors, this class gave us all the jump start we needed to get to work on a Plone site.
