Commercial Grade Quality. Open Source Ingenuity.

Learn from the Experts

Our course materials are developed by the same people who originally created and continue to build Solr. Quite simply, there is no better equipped source for learning Solr on the planet. Period.

Hands-On Approach

In our experience, the best way to learn Solr is by doing it -- hands-on -- through lab-based exercises.  As a result, you can expect to be “building something” within the first five minutes of our workshop-style classes. All of our course materials get vetted through professional instructional designers, so you know we take this stuff seriously. 

Flexible Delivery Options

Let’s be honest: there is no substitute for live, in-person, instructor-led training. That said, we know there are times when this is not possible. Our virtual classes are designed to simulate the live experience as closely as possible. With convenient half-day schedules, and the most advanced virtualization technology we can find, we make every effort to provide you with the best of both worlds.

For those who prefer a more personal touch, our classes can also be delivered onsite at your place of business.  (10 seat minimum).  Please contact Stephanie at stephanie.miles@lucidimagination.com or call +1.650.375.2637 for more details.
