Minneapolis, Minnesota (PRWEB) September 12, 2011
MJG International, a global network of web development experts, announced today it will hold the Frontend Masters Workshop Series (http://www.frontendmasters.com) in suburban Minneapolis a unique educational event comprised of six one-day classes, one per week beginning November 4, 2011, through December 16, 2011.
Frontend web development is very much a moving target, said Marc Grabanski, founder of MJG and host of the event. This event is a rare opportunity for businesses in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest to have the experts come to them so their key web development employees can get educated in the very latest developments in the field.
The benefit for these businesses is substantial, said Grabanski. By super-charging their web development employees techniques with the latest and greatest practices, they will be energized with sharpened skills, bigger ideas, and more efficient approaches to their projects, he said. For businesses that rely so much today on their online presence, this event delivers a big ROI.
Learn from the Best in Industry
Few companies in the world can afford to hire employees with as much skill, knowledge, and experience as the speakers at the Frontend Masters Workshop Series. By sending developers to this event, businesses get the next best thing: expanding the knowledge of their talent pool by having them train with the best in the industry.
A Structured, Intense Learning Environment
Special care is being given to ensure the learning environment at the Workshop Series is efficient, dynamic, and interactive, with participation encouraged from everyone. Activities include work time on lessons and code reviews.
Valuable Educational Resources
Attendees will have ongoing access to an incredible library of video, presentation slides, code examples, and worksheets to review and share, and to facilitate dissemination of this powerful knowledge.
High-Speed Internet Provided
The event organizers know how important web developers are to todays businesses, and this event will supercharge their skill-set. But they also know these employees must be connected to the office and available, so high-speed Internet will be provided to all registered attendees.
Incredible Networking Opportunities
When smart, passionate developers come together, there is no limit to what can be accomplished including meeting new talent, and even making connections with potential new customers and projects. The Frontend Masters Workshop Series will offer registrants valuable opportunities to network with the speakers, the MJG expert network, and their peers in the developer community.
In addition to the insights of industry-leading experts in the field, spread over six full-day workshop sessions, registrants of the Frontend Masters Workshop Series will receive videos, presentation slides, worksheets, and bibliographies, as well as catered lunches and time to get to know new colleagues, in an intimate, sharing, comfortable learning environment.
