[comp.windows.x] Quality of Motif courses

kaleb@mars.jpl.nasa.gov (Kaleb Keithley) (03/10/90)

We're considering sending a couple of people to one of the various Motif
courses being offered.  Two that we are considering are Data General's
three day course, and ICS's five day course.

Anyone taken either of these?  Any and all comments appreciated.  I will
summarize to the net if demand/response is evident.

thanks in advance

I cannot comment on the Data General course, but you may consider contacting
a local HP sales rep for information pertaining to the HP Motif course.  The 
material was developed by three support development engineers in my group 
and was sold to OSF who in turn sold it to various vendors, including ICS.

I do not know what course ICS is currently presenting, but the material
developed for OSF is five days of lab-intensive (about 20 labs) training 
that covers all of the basics.  Each lab builds upon the previous.  The 
material was also reviewed by several of the engineers who developed the
OSF/Motif toolkit.  It is of very high quality.
