The Manta Seminar Series

June 1, 2008

We at Manta Technologies Inc. are excited to make the biggest announcement in recent Manta history, the Manta Seminar Series. The series is just what its name suggests, a collection of online seminars by the world's leading System i experts, including:

  • Joe Pluta
  • Don Denoncourt
  • Aaron Bartell
  • Susan Gantner
  • Jon Paris
  • Paul Tuohy
  • Skip Marchesani

Each seminar is an online presentation that you can take at home or at work. One advantage of the seminar format is that it lets us deliver quality training quickly after IBM announces a new product. For example, among our first offerings is a series of seminars by Joe Pluta on RDi, the successor to WDSc. You know Joe from his many books and publications on WDSc and similar topics.

Another seminar that is available immediately comes from Don Denoncourt, a well-known System i author and speaker, who also played a key role in the development of MantaNow, our online delivery system. Don's first seminar is on open-source web development tools.

Additional speakers and seminars will be announced in the coming months. Keep an eye on the Manta web site for details. In some cases, the seminars are being developed exclusively for Manta. In other cases, the seminars are based on sessions that the instructors have recently given at national conferences. In all cases, you are getting the most up-to-date information from the leading experts in the field.

Each seminar costs $96 per person. Session handouts, where available, cost an additional $10.
