SetFocus Giveaway: And the Winners Are…

SetFocus Holds Raffle Drawing for Two GTR Corporate Classes and Master’s Program

October 20, 2007 Parsippany, NJ – SetFocus, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for Learning Solutions (CPLS), held its first .NET Training Giveaway last night during a SQL Server Career Event. For the past three months, SetFocus representatives have been attending Microsoft MSDN Events to offer attendees a chance to win one of three impressive prizes.

As a leader in .NET developer training, SetFocus has been a partner and sponsor of Microsoft’s MSDN events since June of 2003. MSDN events are a way for developers to learn about the newest tools and technologies that Microsoft has to offer. Live demonstrations and presentations are conducted by experienced programmers while sponsors, like SetFocus, provide food, refreshments, and giveaways for attendees.

The Contest Drawing and Career Event was held at SetFocus’ Parsippany, NJ headquarters and was well-attended by programmers and developers interested in .NET and SQL Server. The event was also streamed live for the general public so that anyone who entered the giveaway could watch it in real-time. Two first prize winners, Matt Katzer of Oregon and Matt Howland of San Francisco, CA, won Guaranteed to Run Corporate Courses, valued at $1700. The grand prize winner, Chu Yao of NJ, won a place in SetFocus’ Master’s Program – a value of $17,000.

The SetFocus Master’s Program is an intensive developer training experience that combines in-depth technical knowledge in .NET or SQL Server 2005 with a proven career development strategy. Offered either 13 weeks full-time or 39 weeks part-time, The Master’s Program is a way for developers to re-tool their skills and re-market themselves into the programming industry. SetFocus also offers an extensive line of corporate .NET training services and solutions to help organizations gain productivity and performance, worldwide. With a vast list of Guaranteed-to-Run courses, companies can rely on SetFocus to deliver exactly what they are looking for.

In addition to attending training at one of SetFocus’ two locations in Jersey City or Parsippany, NJ, developers can also attend courses via The GRID®, a revolutionary remote training solution. Partnered with Wire One Communications, an industry leader in video conferencing technology, SetFocus is able to offer live, face-to-face instruction to software developers unable to travel to New Jersey. The GRID® combines audio/video conferencing with Windows Virtual Machines to allow users real-time admittance to the training environment. The audio quality is 400% greater than that of a telephone and video quality is on the same level as television. Though individuals using The GRID® may be hundreds or thousands of miles away from the SetFocus NJ locations, they can still interact with in-class instructors and students, alike.
