Mach-II Workshops

Team Mach-II and GreatBizTools, our commercial sponsor, offers workshops that help developers learn how to apply object-oriented programming fundamentals by using the Mach-II framework. Our workshop facilitators, who actually wrote the Mach-II code, not only can explain the fundamental design principles behind Mach-II but can also show developers practical ways to help them get the most out of their ColdFusion applications.

Commercial Support & Training Rates / Prices

Team Mach-II and GreatBizTools, our commercial sponsor, offer workshops that help developers learn how to apply object-oriented programming fundamentals by using the Mach-II framework.

Our workshop facilitators, who actually wrote the Mach-II code, not only can explain the fundamental design principles behind Mach-II but can also show developers practical ways to help them get the most out of their CFML applications.

Are you interested in on-site training for 5+ developers in your organization? Our training fees are very reasonable. For example, we charge only $4,000 (plus travel expenses) for two days of on-site training for five developers. We offer discounts for larger classes. And if you need help resolving technical problems, we charge only $1,200 for one day (i.e., 8 hours) of consulting support.

If you have only 1-4 developers and you wish to "sponsor" a Mach-II workshop, we will provide training at your place of business if you allow us to offer this training to developers from other organizations in the area.

Please call GreatBizTools at 651-747-1250 (press "1" for Sales) for more information about training fees, customization, consulting support, and sponsoring Mach-II workshops in your area.

April 20-21, 2010 - Minneapolis Community and Technical College, Minneapolis, MN

Taking place immediately before cf.Objective() 2010 and short walk from the conference hotel

New and Improved Mach-II Workshops

We have made a number of improvements to the workshop since we first offered it two years ago at cf.Objective() 2008. The presentations have been streamlined in order to allow for maximum hands-on coding, and we dig into the latest features introduced in Mach-II 1.8 ("Simplicity") as well as new features in Mach-II 1.9 ("Integrity"). ��

In addition, this year each participant is provided a lab computer with all software and hands-on labs pre-installed. At the end of the workshop all materials will be provided on a thumb drive so participants can take their work with them.

And the best news is that we have reduced the price of the workshops by over 45%!
