Anybody know XSLT training in Dallas

["Pady Srinivasan" <pady at tek-tools dot com>]

Thanks everybody for the reply.

I need to know if somebody offers XSLT training in the Dallasarea. I am
looking for a intermediate/advanced course. If anybody is in this area, and
would like to take a private class for me, I would be interested. I need
this course as soon as possible ( hopefully, this week ).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Pady
