If You're In the US: Iceland is easy to get to. Icelandair offers non-stop flights from Boston, JFK, BWI, Minneapolis, and Sanford (FL). The flights are usually shorter than flying across the US, and the fares are low. If you've never been here, it's an excellent place; very clean and efficient, with superb seafood and hot spas. If the Salem MA class doesn't work for you, give this one a try. Better yet, come early and enjoy a weekend here. I always do.

Language of Instruction: US English.

Cost: US$2500/Euro 1850.

Bring Your Own Laptop:  Feedback from previous classes has indicated that students prefer to work in their own development environments, containing their favorite tools and customized to their own tastes. Therefore, students in this class must provide their own PCs containing the following software: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (C# or VB languages) and the May 2007 release of Microsoft’s Smart Client Software Factory. Any edition of Visual Studio 2005 will be sufficient, even the free Express editions available at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/express/default.aspx. The May 2007 release of SCSF is also a free download, online at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=2b6a10f9-8410-4f13-ad53-05a202fbdb63&displaylang=en.  If you forget any of those, don't worry, we have them here on disk, but you'll be happiest if you come in ready to rock and roll. Power outlets, wireless Internet, and sample code will be provided.
