Note from Kathleen Pingelski, President

Like those of us here at MicroKnowledge, I bet you are looking forward to the continued warm and sunny weather that’s in the forecast. It’s time to start enjoying all those great summer barbeques, but it’s also time to start planning for fall. Before the lazy days of summer slow you down, do some planning now for your fall training sessions.

Did you know that we can provide training on your proprietary software applications? Our team of seasoned trainers is experienced in learning your industry specific software and can develop a training curriculum and then deliver training hands on or via Web-ex. It’s that easy!

I hope you’ll join us on Thursday, Sept. 22 for our “Using XML Databases and XQuery” Customer Appreciation Day and learn how to manage your database with ease. You will be amazed at how quickly you can search for information with the XML data.

We’re offering some new classes in the upcoming months, so be sure to check our website in the coming weeks for details on sessions on WordPress, Google Apps and Crystal Reports 2011. We also have some featured training sessions on Project 2010 Basic (offered on Friday, July 8 at our facility) and Acrobat X Basic(offered on Monday, Aug. 1) for you to consider.

I’m certain you’ll enjoy reading Community Matters, where you’ll learn about the Albany Symphony Orchestra, the only professional symphony orchestra based within the Capital Region. And, be sure to read Tech Valley’s Brightest for information about a local mutual fund – Adirondack Small Cap Fund – that is getting national attention after receiving a prestigious award.

I hope you have a great summer and find some time to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather. We are looking forward to celebrating our 25th Anniversary with you in October.
