This course has been one of the most popular events we have offered. We are offering it again due to your requests and we are improving it based on your feedback. This time it will be less lecture and more hands on activities. So, you will have to obtain a copy of the book before hand and do a little homework. (We don't care if you buy it, borrow it or go to the library). But, in exchange you will get to do even more of the hands on learning we love.
