As you probably know, some pretty wonderful advertisers support DominoPower Magazine. We want to do everything possible to make sure our readers and our advertisers get together and do some chillin'. So, in order to encourage you to visit our advertisers' sites and poke around and learn more about them, we've created an exciting new contest, the Official DominoPower Scavenger Hunt.

The great thing about the ads in DominoPower is that every one is potentially useful to you because every one contains information and solutions especially for Notes and Domino professionals. We've actually received compliments from readers on how helpful and useful the information in our ads is, in addition to the usefulness of the content in DominoPower.

You might even be able to boost your business and the economy at the same time by investing in some of the services and products our advertisers offer.

Which brings us back home to the theme of the May 2001 issue of DominoPower, career power. Our fabulous prize is a valuable professional development opportunity from The Learning Continuum Company, at http://www.tlcc.com, which will give some lucky winner's employability a real shot in the arm.

If you win, you get to choose from a wide range of courses that'll boost your Notes and Domino career. There are developer courses, certifications, and user trainings. There's even a beginner Java programming course for Notes and Domino and a course on using XML in Domino. You can choose any one course of up to $500. Visit the TLCC course catalog at http://www.tlcc.com/admin/courses.nsf/curriculum. If the course you want to take exceeds $500, you can pay the difference yourself, or have your company cover it. Even if you don't win, you can take advantage of the free sample courses already available on the The Learning Continuum Company's Web site.

Special thanks go to Howard Greenberg at The Learning Continuum Company for providing such an uplifting prize. We've reviewed a number of Howard's courses, and they've been consistently rated as excellent. If you'd like to read the reviews, visit the Product availability and resources section at the end of this article.

So, you get a chance to learn more about our advertisers and a chance to learn more about how to empower your Notes and Domino career. It's literally a win-win situation.

Upon successful completion of the Scavenger Hunt, you'll be entered into a drawing to win the course. It's true that DominoPower has a heck of a lot of readers, but if you're determined to win this course, you probably have a really good shot at it. It's fun, the odds are way better than the lottery, and it only takes a few minutes! So go for it!
