Friends and colleagues,

I wanted to give you an early and personal notification that I'm
teaching back-to-back courses in San Francisco in March. You can
register directly on SQE's website. (SQE is Software Quality
Engineering, also known for Better Software Magazine, Better Software
Conference, STARWEST and STAREAST Conferences...).

These courses are being held the week of March 10th, at the Courtyard by
Marriott San Francisco Airport (at 1050 Bayhill Drive, San Bruno, CA
