Great Circle Associates Internet Tutorials

Great Circle Associates is proud to offer an outstanding lineup of one-day Internet tutorials from leading experts, including:

• Building Internet Firewalls, by Brent Chapman
• Creating a World Wide Web Site, by Dan Klein
• Internet Essentials for UNIX System Administrators, by Steve Simmons
• Introduction to Internet Technology, by Bill LeFebvre

These tutorials are available for in-house presentation to your organization. In-house tutorials offer several advantages over public tutorials (for example, at conferences or trade shows):

• We can concentrate on your organization's particular concerns and configuration, and skim over stuff that's less relevant.
• It's an opportunity to get all the folks in your organization together for a day to concentrate on nothing but the topic at hand; you end up getting a lot of seemingly unrelated business done simply because you have all the right people together for a day.
• People are generally more willing to ask candid questions (which might reveal something about your site's status or security) in an in-house tutorial than they would be in a public tutorial.
• You can generally train more people for less money by bringing the instructor to your site rather than sending all your people to the instructor at a conference or trade show, because you're only paying one person's travel and lodging expenses. Further, your people don't waste time travelling to and from the training.
