I really don't understand why you wouldn't pay for it out of your
pocket, as long as it would further a goal of yours -- i.e, if you
want to work somewhere doing Cocoa or you want to finally write that
great shareware app in Cocoa, you should look at it as an investment.
Now, I understand that if you don't have the money that you can't do
it -- but if you have the money and the desire and the goals, what's
holding you back?
Well, you always have to weight what new things you are learning and
the experience itself vs price. And I do that more extensively when I
am paying myself :) (Who is not?) Being able to ask a person that
knows questions is the real benefit. Plus I guess it's just an awesome
week. But nevertheless... If I am sitting in a class building RaiseMan
- than that's not really a good investment from my current POV. I have
just no clue how it really is :)
As a total newbie I wanted to go ...and would have ... but didn't have
the time. Right now I am thinking ...I just want someone to answer my
questions.
But this is getting OT ....maybe let's take that off list :)
