I posted an article a few days ago requesting information
on OO programming and design training.  The following is
a summary of the responses I have received so far.  I 
want to thank everyone again that sent me information.

=================

I took a semaphore class once. It was a one week c++/OO design course and  it was
quite useful with the one exception I think applies to all "corporate education"
classes I've been to: Many of the people attending had not so much as skimmed
through A good text on the subject and much time was spent on rather basic
questions.

If  you do take one of these courses, (and it IS worth taking some sort of formal
training if it is not too inconvient) be cure to have read through a good book on
the subject (preferably the one that they are using) and talk to some  experienced
co-workers if at all possible..
you'll learn a lot more if you do..

=================

I just got info from GE (1-800-GE-TRAIN).  The course is based on 
their in-house developed OO method (the Rumbaugh, et al book).  Also
they sell software to develop software with this method.  I can't 
recommend or not recommend (haven't taken the course).  But call 
the number and you'll get their info packet.

==================

You need look no further than your own back yard for the best in OO
training.  Knowledge Systems Corp., (of Cary NC) has been training
programmers in OO A&D and Smalltalk programming for over six years.  We
have one of the biggest and most established bases of OO expertise in
the country, and have worked with many fortune 500 companies to help
them make the transition to object technology.

Please call one of our account executives at (919) 481-4000.  They can
let you know when our next open enrollment classes will begin, and what
other services we can offer.


===================

semaphore has a good reputation as a training company . however, they teach their own  
method and  have their own notation. KSC ( knowledge Systems Corporation in Dallas )  
have very good and expensive small talk training. Check them out.  TI used them and felt  
they did a good job.


===================


You have to ask first what language you what to learn then what OOM
you what to follow!??
I send some address of company that they support or produce OO CASE tools
usually those company can give training or at least advise you.
I hope that will help!?
