  Atlanta, GA - November 5, 2004 - Ring in the New Year with PostgreSQL 
Bootcamp January 17-21, 2005

  Big Nerd Ranch, a leading provider of intensive training classes for 
developers and systems administrators, announces the latest offering of 
its PostgreSQL Bootcamp from January 17-21, 2005. The PostgreSQL 
database solution has compared favorably to such giants as Oracle for 
its scalability, robustness, flexibility, and ability to secure data 
integrity. Database administrators particularly enjoy the wide network 
of support and community that comes with open-source programming.

  PostgreSQL is rapidly spreading throughout a spectrum of industries as 
a viable, low-cost, and easily administered database solution. Its 
utility fluidly traverses the needs of medical, accounting, e-business 
and sales applications. Because it boasts the ability to expand as the 
database grows without sacrificing speed or stability, it provides a 
welcome relief for companies struggling with proprietary designs that 
quickly become obsolete as needs change and become more demanding.

  Bootcamp instructor Chris Campbell expounded on PostgreSQL's 
capabilities, remarking, "Whether you need a compact and elegant system 
or an enterprise-level solution, PostgreSQL is perfect. In five 
intensive days of training at the Big Nerd Ranch, you will come out of 
the course equipped to begin incorporating this incredible tool in your 
projects."

  A relatively recent addition to the Big Nerd Ranch's curriculum, 
PostgreSQL Bootcamp has rapidly become one of the most popular 
offerings, neatly fitting in with its other new offerings - Apache, PHP 
and Python.

  The Big Nerd Ranch incorporates intensive training classes for Unix 
and Mac OS X programmers in a retreat setting outside Atlanta, GA. 
Class price of $3500 includes lodging, all meals, original instruction 
materials, 24-hour lab access, and transportation to and from the 
Atlanta airport. Students are encouraged to bring independent projects 
to class, allowing for input from classmates and individual instructor 
attention. For more information, call 678-595-6773 or visit
