About Simberon Incorporated

Since 1994, Simberon has been performing object oriented training and consulting for corporations across North America.

In cooperation with The Object People, Simberon delivered courses on Smalltalk and on Object Oriented Concepts. After The Object People was acquired by BEA and WebGain in 2000, Simberon developed its own courses and began offering training no longer available from BEA.

Simberon is currently developing training courses for the Microsoft .NET environment and will soon be delivering those courses. In the meantime, we continue to provide consulting expertise to Smalltalk and .NET projects.

If you would like assistance with your training or consulting needs, or if you have any questions or comments on the training courses offered by Simberon, please e-mail info@simberon.com.
