Kitware is preparing their training courses for the fall, and is now accepting registrations for a new VTK development course in September.  The objects look simple enough:

1. Understand data structures, readers and filters – how they work and how to write new ones

2. Understand interaction and widgets – how they work and how to incorporate them into your programs

3. Discover how to control the way data is displayed with rendering and charts

4. Learn how to put these pieces together to make fully-featured applications with Qt

Full details are on their site.  As someone who spent a the first 6 months muddling through VTK at my last job, something like this is a great value for getting up-to-speed under tutelage of the experts.
