We are dedicated to providing the highest quality training materials for technology professionals throughout the world. We recognize that the technologies we are involved with offer unparalleled power and unfettered flexibility in their ability to create the applications which humanity needs now in order to most effectively share information and knowledge. We recognize that people are infinitely more important than the computers which they have created as tools.
Therefore, we are dedicated to enabling creative people to work with the most powerful tools so that each one can most effectively contribute their greatest gifts to the whole. Ultimately, we are creating a place where people can offer their strengths in service of humanity.
