I've put up Simberon's summer training schedule on the Simberon web site. We are delivering three runs of two courses.

Object Oriented Techniques and Best Practice Patterns (5 days) - This is a course for experienced object oriented developers to teach ways to may their code simpler with fewer bugs. We emphasize a test driven design approach and perform all the hands-on exercises test first. Hands-on exercises can be done in Java, C# and Smalltalk.

Experiencing Design Patterns (5 days) - This course teaches the classic 23 design patterns from the Gang of Four book but also demonstrates the experiences and pitfalls developers have encountered since the book was published in 1994.

Simberon is teaming up with Xia Systems to present these courses. Xia Systems (with CEO Dave Thomas - founder of OTI) is a team of multi-disciplinary individuals delivering innovative solutions using rapid prototyping tools and methodologies.

If you have any questions about the courses or you would like to schedule on-site courses, e-mail me at david@simberon.com.
