[PERSONAL] [AJAX] [PROGRAMMING] Planning an Ajax Boot Camp

Planning an Ajax Boot Camp
Locations to be determined by your input
I have been helping people work with Ajax applications since Ajax has become popular. On all of the forums I post on and the emails I receive, the same mistakes appear over and over again that bring developer's applications to a halt. My goal was to create a course that will teach any serverside developer how to code a maintainable and scalable Ajax solution. A lot of tutorials out there that developers are using are full of bad practices.
Things that developers always do not think of is what is the consequences of not using caching on the client, what happens if I poll the server, what happens with session, and what causes that memory leak? I see people using too much business logic on the client and I see others not using enough. Others are using the XMLHttpRequest object wrong which does not show up under normal use, but get a user with an itchy trigger finger and it is all over. There are tons of things this camp will cover and I plan on posting the course outline in the near future.
The Ajax Boot Camp will be two days full of lectures and hands on programming. Locations of the camps are still currently being determined. If you would like to see us come to your part of the United States, add a comment or send me an email to askEric@pascarello.com. I know people asked me when I am coming to your area to talk; this is your chance to get me there!

Cost: still working with the exact numbers.
When: mixture of weekend and weekdays depending on locations. Some people want to miss work, others can't miss work. Not sure how to please everyone!
How long: 2 days for the camp we about to promote, other camps are in the works that may be longer, but far off.
Where: It is up to you guys. I will go where I am demanded (Well my wife also has a goal to see all 50 states and she has about around 24 left so do not think I will not come out to the boonies!)
If you have a question send me an email: askEric@pascarello.com
First Location: Baltimore/Washington DC area in September exact dates and info for this talk will be posted in a few days on my site. Thought I would do the first one close to home.
Think a few years back in college I was told I was not a great speaker in the speach course they made us take. lol
Thanks! I am getting a lot of practice since I have done over 30 talks since October. I probably done it in my sleep 1000 times too. If only my brain would turn off that geek stuff...lol

The big states were multiple cities in Florida, California, and Texas.
I am still looking for more locations! So I can plan a nice tour around the country!
And we are working on a website for it.
