I like Lion's workshops the best because they really dig into the information you need to have when you leave the workshop.

The instructor clearly enjoys his job and transmits that enthusiasm. He made a dry subject very interesting and fun.

Lion's online training is more comprehensive, has better slides, and is a superior training experience than what I would get from other trainers.
