- Quote: "I am really excited about the new opportunities for training new developers, and helping experienced developers move up to the next level. I have not seen any format like the ERT learning model that gives both the Mentor and the IT professional such an easy relationship. It almost guarantees that everyone I offer help to will get better at what they do and take from the site lessons that will help them throughout their career. I wish ERT had come along 5 years ago. ERT is assembling the finest group of Mentor/Experts that has ever been assembled in one place in the history of the Internet."
