Press Release Summary = Rockville, MD – AboutWeb is proud to announce the opening of a new career development and technology training center in Rockville, MD. AboutWeb is a Macromedia Authorized Training Partner serving the DC Metro area and will be
offering the entire Macromedia curriculum as well as classes developed exclusively by AboutWeb.

Press Release Body = A successful IT recruiting and software development firm established in 1998, AboutWeb is introducing a new training division designed to capture and maintain ongoing relationships with employers and technology
professionals around the country. The new training division will compliment the existing recruiting and IT consulting divisions by supplying both with motivated,
highly-skilled professionals trained by one of the best ColdFusion Developers in the country, Simon Horwith.
“Our career development philosophy is designed to help IT professionals continue to improve their skills and grow into better and better positions, whether they are seeking new employment or just trying to get to the next level in their career,” said AboutWeb CIO and Master Instructor Simon Horwith. Horwith is a member of Team Macromedia and has been working with ColdFusion since version 1.5 specializing in application architecture that integrates ColdFusion with Java, Flash, Flex, and a myriad of other technologies. He serves as editor-in-chief of ColdFusion Developer’s Journal and is the author of a popular online blog for ColdFusion developers.
“Students that we train will be able to call on us when they have questions or run into difficult issues on a project, that’s a valuable resource most new hires can’t offer,” said Horwith, “And if a company decides they need some serious backup on a project, our Consulting & Solutions shop can take over and get the job done.”

By offering education discounts to colleges and universities as well as onsite training and group rates for businesses, AboutWeb provides organizations a new option when trying to fill difficult IT positions – instead of paying traditional recruiting or consulting fees, they can choose to train their existing employees in the latest technology for a fraction of the cost. “There will always be a need for recruiting and staff augmentation and we will continue to be a leading source for IT professionals,” said AboutWeb President Robert Epstein, “This just gives employers another option when trying to meet their project goals and helps give our candidates an edge on the competition.” AboutWeb exclusive courses are written and taught by its instructors and developers.
These featured courses include: Search Engine Optimization, Building and Deploying Secure ColdFusion Applications and Software Architecture for ColdFusion Developers. This fall AboutWeb also hopes to offer classes in ColdFusion Administration, Web
Accessibility and .Net for CF Developers.
