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

Thanks,

$2000 bucks for 3 days! I sure hope you learn a lot.

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
