Natural Intelligence Expands Java Training Division Curriculum and Services

Cambridge, MA. November 8, 1996. In line with its strategy for providing a
full array of Java(tm) products and services, Natural Intelligence (NI) has
announced a dramatic expansion of its Java Training Division, offering a
wide variety of on-site and off-site courses of instruction for management
and technology workers. Widely acknowledged as a leader in the field of
Java development, (including Roaster(tm), the Development Environment for
Java), Natural Intelligence is uniquely positioned to offer this
exceptional addition to its consulting services.

Up to now, Natural Intelligence's Java Consulting Division has offered
limited training as an adjunct to its consulting services, but the volume
of ongoing requests from corporations and institutions for a traditional
teaching structure became the catalyst for the current expansion. The Java
Training Division now offers classes for students at all levels, including
management personnel who need the information to assess Java's potential
for directing their company's future development. The variety of courses
offered have been eagerly adopted by large and small corporations, and are
being presented nationwide.

Bob Paige, one of the lead trainers of NI's Java Training Division, is
currently offering "Introduction to Java Training" at Harvard University's
Extension School. He described the enthusiasm for the subject among
professional developers as well as students of programming: "The excitement
about programming in the Java language, and the appreciation of the
implication for future use in cross-platform development is amazing!" The
course has been heavily attended, and is projected for inclusion in the
coming semesters.

The expansion of the Natural Intelligence Java Training Division with
on-site accessibility will give businesses a practical solution to the
challenges of keeping current with the pace of Java development," said Mark
Alcazar, Senior Developer and another lead member of the training faculty.
"As an experienced instructor, I am thrilled at the opportunity to teach
this complex subject thoroughly, and in a manner which it deserves.

The trainers in this division include an impressive array of NI personnel,
including John Dhabolt, Director of Java Product Development at Natural
Intelligence, whose reputation as an expert in the Java programming
language and as a teacher is widely appreciated. He heartily endorsed the
division's direction and organization, noting the benefits of the
structure: "The courses of instruction are customized for each venue, with
input from a consultation with our faculty. The participants are given
several modules from which to choose the subject matter, taking into
consideration the level of their expertise, as well as the extent of their
experience. This is a wonderful formula for delivering excellence
efficiently Q clearly a critical requirement for people in this field."

Joshua Wachs, President and CEO of the company added: "This is a logical
direction for us, and answers the needs expressed by many of our clients
and customers. The corporate clients of Natural Intelligence are
particularly appreciative that solutions in Java can now be fully supported
within the context of their own company. And customers who have purchased
our Java development tools are very happy to have the opportunity to have
access to the impressive resources and experiences of NI in this field."
