I plan on attending the PicBasic Pro Course listed on the link below. Anyone gone to one of these before? Feedback?

Thanks,

Yeah, wouldn't even consider it if it was on my dime. My company pays for any training I take.

Could you split the expense with your employer?
The course seems to come with some pretty good gear. If you bought a package that includes all those devices it would probably cost over 600USD. Do you already have some of that equipment? No sense in duplicating.
3-Day Seminars/workshops are grueling. You reach saturation about halfway through and the rest of the course tends to get foggy - Especially programming seminars. By the time you figure out how to word your questions, the class is over!!
If you haven't already:
Buy PBP(not pbc), a programmer, and a practice board like an X1- all for about 500USD. There are a lot of X1 users out here (I might be one of them soon) and there is always somebody that will help you.

hope this helps
