New RMI Workshops and Bundles

I know it's been really light (basically non-existent) blogging this year. And I promise there's a good reason for it.

Aside from my standard work load, I've been consumed with two projects. One is the Ludi Machine, which I'm getting into shape for FITC Amsterdam at the end of February (there are still seats available for my workshop on Events in AS3 on February 21st in Amsterdam).

The other item that's been consuming my time has been the revamp of the Rich Media Institute website -- the first real overhaul to the public website since 2006. Among the new features we've recently launched:

• Totally overhauled catalog
  Making it much easier for you to browse the courses
• New shopping cart
  You can buy as many courses as you like at once, and you don't need to use paypal
• New European video server
  So our customers in Europe and Asia can view our training as well as our American ones
• Public forums
  So you can ask questions and follow news of the RMI without having to enroll in a course
• Brand new products
  We're constantly adding new courses to the site, including the FDT training and new combo courses, including Comprehensive ActionScript 3, which has over 9 hours of training content

So, the changes to the RMI are pretty exciting. And, following the launch of the new site, I'm teaching some new workshops that I wanted to let you all know about:

New Compilation Online Training
Comprehensive ActionScript 3 (over 9 hours of training)
Comprehensive Flash Video (5 and a half hours)

New Live Workshops
Practical ActionScript 3 on May 1st
Mastering ActionScript 3 Events on May 8th
Purchase both together and save $75

And, because of the new system, we are offering the option to enroll in the online training and live workshops at the same time -- so you can start accessing the online training immediately, and then get your face-to-face training when the workshop day comes.

Combo Live and Online Workshops
Practical ActionScript 3 online and live on May 1st
Mastering ActionScript 3 Events online and live on May 8th
Comprehensive AS3 9 hours of online training and both live workshops on May 1st and 8th

We're using these to gauge customer interest in these sorts of new and unique training opportunities. So please spread the word.

The Comprehensive AS3 - Live and Online is particularly great value. For $425 you get 9 hours of online training and 12 classroom hours, with me teaching you AS3 -- I've worked on these courses for years now, and it really is the best AS3 training available.

All of our online training, and all of my live workshops, are on sale through all of February, and you can save an additional 10% with the code 'rblank9'.

Share and enjoy!
