We are very proud to announce that AgiliTrain and Rachel Appel are partnering to present a series of public classes on the next generation of web development. Rachel will be teaching two new courses for AgiliTrain on web development:

• The MVC Tour: A 3-day training session that features an in depth look at MVC – the Model/View/Controller pattern as implemented in ASP.NET.
• The jQuery Tour: A 3-day jQuery workshop that enables developers new to jQuery development to increase their knowledge and gain familiarity with the jQuery libraries, plug-ins and ecosystem.

For those not in the know, Rachel has been working as a mentor, instructor, software developer, architect and DBA for nearly 20 years. During her career, Rachel has worked with a variety of languages, technologies and systems and has contributed to projects of all sizes including large scale enterprise applications at some of the world’s leading companies. Rachel’s expertise lies within developing solutions that align business and technology using the Microsoft .NET family of products, particularly ASP.NET & SQL Server. She is also an ASP.NET MVP, ASPInsider and holds the Microsoft Certified Trainer, MCAD & MCSD certifications.
