"Very professional training session run by Stephen James who covered everything he promised and then some. It was a relaxed atmosphere that allowed for group participation and many, many questions. Great notes for reinforcement."
"An excellent Meetup. Stephan has a natural ability to teach. An aspect of this workshop that I particularly liked was the fact that Stephan was able to field questions from us that we would not be able to address thru video tutorials on the internet. (...and there were lots) Individual attention given when needed without obstructing the pace of the of the class. A wonderful group of inquisitive, intelligent minds. The offer by Stephen to be available to answer further inquiries regarding this application as I left was generous. Kudos."
