I had the pleasure of taking in person the CBT that these emails are
pitching, through the OCEAN user group in Southern California.  It was
excellent.  The emails themselves are pretty clearly spam, but the
product is good.

In a nutshell, Craig Pelkie demonstrates the basics of connecting
Microsoft .NET applications to the iSeries database.  The workshop
includes step-by-step hands-on examples that work well.  I highly
recommend it.  It won't teach you how to do much .NET programming, but
can be taken even if you don't know any .NET, and may be a good way to
dip your toes into that pond.  Visual Studio .NET 2003 is required.

I think that "Team Rochester" is the another incarnation of the
"Rochester Initiative".  They sell iSeries training materials.
