How:  Through the bot­tom­less Mac knowl­edge of Mr. Joel A. Brock.  Joel has been a Mac pro­fes­sional for almost 10 years.  He has used his Mac for graphic design, web­site and web appli­ca­tion devel­op­ment, soft­ware pro­gram­ming, and database/network admin­is­tra­tion.  He spends an inor­di­nate amount of time read­ing about emerg­ing tech­nolo­gies and work­flow hacks.  So he thinks he knows a thing or two about work­ing on Macs.  In fact, he’s pretty sure he knows more than you.  Luck­ily he’s not pride­ful and is will­ing to share his vast oceans of Mac expe­ri­ence with you!

Why:  Because a friend asked for a Mac train­ing and it seemed like a good idea to open it up to oth­ers who could ben­e­fit from such a train­ing.  And because it’ll be lots of fun!
