Please get in touch if you are interested in the TypeScript workshop and/or would like to discuss such a waiver.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Every time I put on workshops of this type, I always check whether attendees prefer to work through set exercises or follow along as I give explanations and demos. The unanimous choice is always the latter and forms the basis for a flexible and interactive approach. While I have a core amount of material to cover, there's always time for discussion and experimentation and this sort of engagement always seems to enrich the experience for everyone.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">I'm most grateful to the Northwest GIS User Group for supporting the provision of these workshops. You don’t need to be a member to attend these workshops, but, for only $10.00, I highly encourage you to do so and support the organization both financially and as an active participant. Please visit their website, <a href="https://nwgis.org/">https://nwgis.org/</a>, for details and please consider attending their 2023 conference, which will be held in Yakima, Washington on September 19<sup>th</sup>-21<sup>st</sup>.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Please let me know if you have any questions.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ligatures:none">Thanks.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ligatures:none"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">David</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">David A.
