Classroom Presentations

I will post PDF versions of the slides used for the "classroom" presentations. Note that merely reading the slides is not an adequate substitute for attending the FranklinLive! presentations. However for those with low-bandwidth or limited connection time, I will convert the FranklinLive recordings to executable JAR files and post them for download.
