Feed Description: Welcome to my blog. It happened. I succumbed to the vanity exercise that a weblog is and started my own one. Here youll find information and thoughts (some worth reading, some not) on Java, J2EE, Software Architecture, Music and Parapolitics
I'm giving a training on Web Services starting
this monday. Couple of days ago, however, I was talking to the commercial
director of a portuguese training company, and he was telling me that
there was a dramatic difference in attendance rates between system
administrator and programmer courses, and that a survey he had concluded
that this was mostly because people attending to development trainings
were NOT trusting their trainers' knowledge - as most of them limited
themselves to reading slides.
This shocked me. Altought I DID
experience some really bad trainings myself, I wasn't aware that there
were so many bad trainers out there that it would justify a survey! :) I'm
a Java trainer and a Software Engineering teacher at a portuguese
university. I badly believe in putting as much heart in my classes and
trainings as I can, and delivering the best training possible - this was
not my conscience of the marketplace.
What is your experience? Do
you regularly attend technical development-oriented trainings? From the
ones you attended, was the average good, or just boring slide-delivery?
And one other question: would you prefer technology-oriented trainings
("The J2EE platform APIs") or task-oriented ones ("Developing GUI-based
enterprise applications with J2EE")?
