Mac App Learning in Wooded World

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Pa260889 2Portland Macintosh Users Group (PMUG) has put together another wonderful lineup of Mac classes for the biannual MacCamp; held April 18-19-20 at Silver Falls Conference Center in Silverton, Oregon.
The six classes (2 each on Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, and Sunday morning) are:

  1. Customizing Photoshop Workflows
  2. Converting Analog Music to Digital
  3. iLife Overview
  4. iStopMotion
  5. Bento
  6. iPods Fully Loaded

You’ll need to choose between Photoshop and Digital Music; iLife and iStopMotion; and Bento and iPods. As you can see from this program, there is something for almost everyone.

For as low as $179, you get 3 classes, 2 nights bunking in a cozy lodge (six 2-person rooms share a cozy common area), delicious meals from Friday dinner to Sunday lunch, Mac networking, and Mac companionship, all in a beautiful, natural environment.

I’m looking forward to the iStopMotion workshop. That app was included in the recent MacHeist bundle (14 apps by Mac independent developers for one low price), which I purchased. I was also eager to explore Bento until I learned it requires Leopard (Mac OS 10.5), which I haven’t upgrade to yet. That’s alright, I now own an iPod after wanting one for years, so I can take that workshop.

Register now! The $179 rate for Mac User Group members goes up to $189 after March 1, and further increases to $199 after April 1
