Re: Postgres and PostGIS training

Philip,
LISAsoft has teamed up with EnterpriseDB to provide commercial support
and services for Postgres in Australia and New Zealand.

In particular, we have upcoming training in "Postgres Administration"
and also comprehensive course on the spatial functionality provided by
PostGIS.
Details here: http://lisasoft.com/training-schedule

If there is a demand for a PL/pgSQL introduction course, we'd be happy
to add that to our list of courses. Are you aware of sufficient demand
fill a classroom?
