"Mike Sorrentino is very knowledgeable, proactive and helpful. He was willing and able to get the answers if he did not know it at the time. He also made everyone felt extremely comfortable in class. I was not afraid to ask questions (even dumb ones)."

"I really thought the lab portion was done amazingly well. Steve gave us the time we needed and was very helpful when it came to explanations."

"An impressive course that has taken me from virtually no knowledge of Cold Fusion to enough to allow me to start building applications Monday morning!"

"I'd truly recommend this for anyone even if they don't have enough experience with the subject, they definitely develop their experience in a very short amount of time."

"The Cold Fusion introductory course offered by Macromedia through Fig Leaf was an excellant course and the instructor, Sean Hedenskog, was very knowledgeable of the entire process needed to train us. He answered all questions to our satisfaction and took the time to make sure we were clear before proceeding. It was well worth the time and money spent and I feel ready to go back to my workplace and be able to apply what I learned. "
