How would you like to have labs conducted at Summit 2004 in New Orleans?

I started this poll based on a posting made by Susannah:

She said:

Every single hands-on session is 95% 'CLICK ON THE REPORT PAINTER' ... and 5% content.
That's why people get exhausted and stop going to the workshops after the first day.
If your presenters would actually present the content FIRST, say the actual code to accomplish whatever they're talking about, and THEN (if they just must!) go thru the click-on-the-report-painter. Developers don't use the report painter, they want to see 'WHERE ARE WE GOING?' in this lab...get the idea, and then leave.
Beginners can stay, and click all they want, to actually practice.
Basic presentation principles..tell 'me what you're gonna tell 'em...then tell 'em....then tell 'em what you told 'em.
Trouble is..most ibi labs are forgetting the first step..and dragging people thru endless tedium only to end up somewhere they could have easily understood with just a quick look at the Resultant Code at the beginning of the session.
See what i mean?

I think you need to have separate labs for Developers vs End Users. I agree with Susannah, developers don't generally use the GUI tools, so we'd rather see the code. Also, don't focus on how to make reports "pretty", we can figure that out ourselves.
