Customized Onsite Spring Framework Training Courses

“Wonderful. In 20 years, this is the best organized, most pragmatic and enjoyable course I've taken.”

“The best instructor-led course I have attended, by far.”

“Best short course ever!”

“Compared to the other short courses I have taken, this one completely redefined my scale from 1-10.”

Following are the main topics covered in the course. If you have a group of at least eight interested developers (10 for courses outside the US or Canada), contact Marty to arrange a course at your location. Onsite courses are easier administratively, are better for clients since the topics and pace can be customized, are more cost effective for students since no travel is required, and are more convenient (for companies in the Baltimore/Washington area) because the schedule is flexible (e.g. afternoons or evenings instead of n consecutive days). However, if you have too few developers for an onsite course, check out our upcoming Spring and Hibernate training courses in San Francisco and Maryland. The Spring and Hibernate/JPA courses are developed and taught by Matt Cherry, with review and editing by Marty Hall.

Please note that these Spring-specific topics can be combined with the Hibernate and JPA training course for a five-day combined course. However, Spring is not necessarily linked to Hibernate, and the Spring topics can be taught separately if desired. Of course, Spring can also be combined with any of the other training topics. Contact Marty to put together a customized blend of topics to fit your needs.
