I figured that the Mma users on this list might be interested
in this. If so, be sure to contact Wolfram as per the info
at the bottom of the posting.

Subject: Mathematica Programming Course
*NEW* MATHEMATICA PROGRAMMING COURSE *NEW*
Ready to go beyond Mathematica's built-in functions and create
customized programs to carry out your own computational projects?
Wolfram Research's Mathematica Programming Course provides users with a
solid foundation in the programming capabilities of Mathematica. This
one-day course will teach you how to use the Mathematica programming
language efficiently, showing how pattern matching works and how
expressions are evaluated. You will learn how to write Mathematica
programs using a "functional" style with higher-order functions,
anonymous functions, and nested function calls and how to use rules
instead of computation to create efficient programs. You will gain an
understanding of how Mathematica is applied to real-world programming
needs through various programming projects involving the development of
computer simulations.
The course is taught by Richard J. Gaylord, professor at the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is on the editorial boards of "The
Mathematica Journal", "Mathematica in Education" and "Mathematica
World" and has lectured extensively on Mathematica programming both in
the United States and abroad in Europe and Japan. He is the author of
the books "Introduction to Programming with Mathematica" and "Computer
Simulations with Mathematica".
Hands-on training covers:
*Expressions:
atomic, non atomic, and compound expressions
* Patterns:
pattern-matching expressions and sequences of expressions;
alternative and conditional pattern-matching
* Evaluation:
term rewriting mechanism of expression evaluation
* Creating and using rules:
creating rewrite rules with the Set and SetDelayed functions,
using Rule and RuleDelayed transformation rules
* Functions:
using anonymous functions, higher-order functions, and nested
function calls
