VTK Course:

The VTK Developer's Course will be taught over a 2-day period on September 21-22, 
2006 in the Albany NY area. The course covers the inner workings of
VTK and will help you learn how to more effectively use, modify, and extend
VTK. See http://www.kitware.com/products/proftrain.html for additional
information about the course content.  The course is taught by VTK experts
and includes course notes and the two books "The VTK User's Guide for Version
5.0" and the new "The Visualization Toolkit" textbook. 
Refreshments, lunches and a Thursday night dinner extravaganza will
be provided.

Course attendees are expected to have a basic knowledge of C or C++ and the
fundamentals of visualization. This year we are requesting that course
attendees bring laptops (or other computer), and that VTK version 5.0 and the
course exercises are installed prior to the first day of class. (Course
attendees will receive the necessary help to get VTK running prior to the
start of the course. A limited number of computers can be provided in lieu of
a laptop if necessary. Inquire for details.)

Course pricing is $1000 if registration and payment is received before September
1. After that date, the course cost is $1200. Register for the course by
