I can't speak for them now, but when I took my introduction to network  
programming class it was taught by Richard Stevens.  If anybody can  
figure out who make functional zombies then I'd love to take that  
class again. I've never taken a class other than at their conferences,  
and that was a decade ago, so I can't say anything for their quality.

I can say that I met an awesome drinking crew there, and when the  
conferences started to stagnate (same shit, different year), we moved  
our drinking to LISA.
