Ken Holman XSL Courses in San Francisco
#
XML/XSL guru, KenHolman, will be teaching his
XSLT and
XSL-FO courses in
Burlingame, California at the San Francisco Airport Embassy Suites the
week of March 22, 2004. Ken is not only a well-established guru, he
is an excellent teacher and a great guy.
Purple would still be on my To
Do list had it not been for an hour's session with Ken plus a copy of
his book. (12M)
I met Ken in late 2000, after having spent several months discussing
the OpenHyperdocumentSystem with DougEngelbart and others. We were at
an impasse at that point. Along comes Ken, who had not been part of
the earlier discussions, but -- being a big DougEngelbart fan -- had
wanted to help. After listening to us for a few hours, Ken broke down
what he had heard, which resulted in the clearest picture of our
collective thinking that anyone had offered up to that point. (12N)
Ken also encouraged me to submit
my
paper on graph data models for collaborative applications to the
2002 ExtremeMarkup conference, and offered to present it for me when I
couldn't attend myself. Not only did he selflessly plug me and my
work, he gave me instant credibility with a very tough crowd. There
aren't many people as smart as Ken, and there are even fewer who are
as generous and supportive. (12O)
If you're in the Bay Area and want or need XSL training, I highly
recommend Ken's courses. (12P)
