Brush up your knowledge and enhance your VALA2010 Conference experience by attending the VALA2010 L-Plate Series. This series is free to all VALA2010 Conference delegates. The 2008 VALA L-Plate series proved to be very popular, with 96% saying it exceeded their expectations, so book early as spaces are limited. L-Plate Series registration includes afternoon tea.
The sessions will provide an introduction on the basic concepts in each of the topics, outline the main trends and use live examples where possible.
