“NuSphere Corporation, provider of NuSphere MySQL, the leading
packaged software product for the open source database marketplace,
announced today that Polycon, the developers of the official MySQL
training materials, has granted the company exclusive training
rights within the Western Hemisphere. Under the agreement, NuSphere
will offer three separate courses on the introduction,
administration, and optimization of the MySQL database, the No. 1
open source database on the market. The company has already begun
scheduling classes between January and March on both U.S.
coasts.”
“Initially, the training will be held at NuSphere training
centers in Massachusetts and California; the current course
schedule is available online at
www.nusphere.com/services/training.htm. The agreement allows
NuSphere to start offering traditional instructor-led training
classes based on official MySQL training materials. Interested
parties are able to register for any of these training courses by
emailing training@nusphere.com.”
“The Polycon Official MySQL Training Program was developed
jointly between Polycon Ab and Michael “Monty” Widenius, chief
technology officer of MySQL AB of Sweden and other MySQL core team
members. The program consists of a full-fledged set of MySQL
courses and seminars, on par with courses that exist for commercial
databases, such as Oracle, MS SQL Server or Sybase. A portion of
each course fee will be contributed to MySQL AB toward the further
development of the MySQL database.”
