I was just informed that the first Belgian Joomla! bootcamp is organized in Gent. The bootcamp's programm includes:

• a session about Joomla! 1.5 features,
• building Joomla! components,
• Joomla! and security
• as session about important "hot" technologies

The bootcamp is presented by Joomla! experts, including Johan Janssens (Joomla! 1.5 lead developer) and Matthias Verraes so it is a perfect opportunity to learn directly from the wizards.

More information is available from the Joomla! website at:

If you're interested in learning more about Joomla!, this is likely the easiest and fastest way to achieve it!
