Just two weeks to ApacheCon at this point.  I still have space in Lucene Boot Camp, but it is filling up.  Class will be covering Lucene 2.9.  See Lucene Boot Camp Training Session for more info and to register.

I will once again be offering my Lucene Boot Camp training session at ApacheCon US this year.  ApacheCon is in Oakland this year and is celebrating 10 years of the ASF.  In addition to my training, there are a number of Lucene/Solr/Mahout/Tika/etc. talks scheduled during the conference as well as a Lucene meetup (free).  For [...]

Just a reminder that Erik and I are offering Lucene and Solr training at ApacheCon Europe next week.  My class is a 2-day hands-on training on Lucene designed to get you up and working with Lucene and provide  information about where to go next.  Erik’s class is a 1-day session on getting up and running [...]

Just a quick reminder that there is just over one week left before Lucene Boot Camp at this year’s ApacheCon.
This year, it is a 2 day training, but for those who want to, they can sign up for the first day of Lucene Boot Camp, and then attend Solr Boot Camp on the second day.  [...]
