Big Nerd Ranch Day 00

I arrived in Atlanta without issue today. The flight was a little bumpy due to turbulance, but otherwise was smooth. It was a long walk to the baggage collection area in the airport. Once I got my bag, I waited for the shuttle bus to arrive. I had to wait for the 5pm shuttle, because my flight got me in at 2:30pm, missing the first shuttle. While waiting, I met 6 other Nerd’s there, and it was a pleasent bus ride (about 50 minutes) to the Banning Mills Resort.

The resort is out in the woods, and is a very pleasant country setting, probably the nicest place I’ve been to for training. Once checked into our rooms, we met for dinner with the others that had come with the 2pm shuttle. It was nice getting to know some of the people that I will be training with. They’re a pretty good bunch, all with varying backgrounds, most have not done any Objective-C programming before. But that will change tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, we begin the 2 day workshop of Objective-C! It should be a good class, and I’m looking forward to it.
