have not spent too much time with Ajax outside of working with the SPRY framework with Dreamweaver. Ajax is no doubt a fascinating way to add interactive components to your web pages if you choose not to develop with Adobe Flex or Flash. If you are intersted in learning Ajax and looking for a good 4 day course, I just published a new outline to the Sterling Ledet and Associates web site and we have some great instructors nationwide for this technology.
As you already know, under the Adobe Authorized Training Provider program, ACIs must pass the proper exam(s) for the courses they wish to teach (version dependent) at the time of instructor certification. Existing ACIs are also required to pass current exams within 90 days of the new exam release date in order to stay current.
Adobe has extended the exam deadline for the following products to April 30, 2007:
| • | Flash® Lite™ 1.1 exam (released June 24, 2006)—Valid for Flash Lite 1.1 ACIs |
