** Reminder - Early Registration deadline is May 15th **

Developer's Training Week will be held June 9 – 13, 2008, in Albany, NY. 


Details
----------

Developer's Training Week will cover our open-source projects including VTK, ITK, ParaView and CMake. These hands-on courses are appropriate for both new users wishing to quickly gain proficiency and experienced developers requiring advanced customization skills. 

As an added bonus, this year the VTK course will be split into two tracks: Beginner and Advanced.  Users who have taken the VTK course in the past are encouraged to attend the Advanced VTK track to learn new skills and functionalities that haven’t been covered in previous VTK trainings.  

Developer’s Training Week is a great opportunity to meet some of the key contributors to these open-source projects as well as other users in the open source community.

As a course attendee, you will receive:
- A complete set of course notes
- The VTK User's Guide
- The Visualization Toolkit textbook
- The ITK Software Guide
- The ParaView Guide
- Mastering CMake
- Snacks daily
- Lunch (Monday through Thursday)
- A dinner reception on both Monday and Wednesday evening

The week will be divided into 9 half-day sessions, allowing attendees to customize their experience based on their individual requirements.  

The cost for registration, per half-day session, is $350 on or before May 15th and $400 from May 16th on.  We are also offering a discounted full week registration rate of $2600 on or before May 15th and $2950 from May 16th on.  Additional student or group discounts are available upon request. Note that attendees must register for a minimum of 3 half-day sessions. 

No prior experience is necessary; however, attendees are expected to have basic knowledge of C or C++ in order to fully participate in the interactive exercises.

Kitware courses incorporate both technical presentations and practical exercises designed to reinforce learning.  For an optimal learning experience each attendee should bring their own laptop computer to the courses. Approximately two weeks before the courses, attendees will receive detailed instructions on how to download, install and test all necessary software on their laptop computer. A limited number of course computers are available for attendees who are unable to bring one.
