So, has anyone here ever been to one of the 5 day classes?

I did. I liked it so much I became an instructor :-) I wrote a review over at MacEdition several months before I got involved with the BNR folks business-wise: http://macedition.com/feat/feat_bnr_20020424.php . The location has changed (now in the Atlanta area), but the facilities there are very nice. If you want to get up to speed on Cocoa very quickly, The Big Nerd Ranch is a great way to do it. ++MarkDalrymple ( Edited by PietroGagliardi to escape spam filter with one of the words above )
