Flyer on my new books released

Pasadena, the most prominent Slovenian publisher of IT-related books, has released a flyer on my new book series entitled With practical examples through …, which is being designed and written together with Peter Vre?ar.

Our novel “business-problem-based experiential learning” approach, that we highly successfully use to educate and consult business professionals in Slovene higher education institutions and industrial clients, is now being applied to the new Microsoft 2007 information-worker solutions.

The first book that deals with the whole lot of the Office 2007, is due in beginning of June 2007. With practical examples through Microsoft Project 2007, and another one, With practical examples through Microsoft Access 2007, are due this fall.

Microsoft NT Conference 2007

I have attended the Microsoft NT 2007 Conference, the biggest Slovenian IT-related event. Quite a few interesting presentations about new technologies and services, and many - even more interesting - meetings with the IT professionals and execs of various Slovenian companies. It’s be there or be square I guess. Busy, but fun. Hey, that’s what it’s all about :)

Silence…

How easy it is to repel and erase every impression which is troublesome or unwelcome, and immediately to be tranquil.
