Hundreds of Participants Can't Be Wrong
Over the past decade, we have trained thousands of world-class IT professionals who are changing the face of the global Internet economy. Here is what some of them had to say:
(Note, this is a randomized sample of our student testimonials and it changes with every refresh of this page)
I learned great tips and I definitely got a better understanding of ruby and ruby on rails.
Laurent is very knowledgeable, and covered key areas of an emerging/experimental technology well. I hope to learn from him again in the future.
I went from some weak, outdated Java skills to using and understanding some powerful frameworks. I learned much more than I expected. Training classes in general can be hit-or-miss, but this one with this instructor is excellent. He helped bring everyone up to speed and ensured we all understood the technologies involved.
Simeon was great.
Daniel was very accommodating and great about touching more advanced topics on latest plugins and tools.
The instructor was willing to revise the course to show examples of how he would solve some real problems
both the course and instructor were great.
Excellent!!! I would consider taking other classes in the future!!!
Thanks!!! This was really good. Peter's humor was great.
Overall, I thought the class was excellent. Sasa was very adaptable to the changing format of the class -- given that the class was originally focused on a pure programming class and changed to more of a high-level architecture class.
I liked how Marko consistently made sure everyone was on the same page and provided help to anyone who had major issues.
One of the best classes I have ever had. Will definately be looking to come back again!
All great!!! You ROCK!!!
I was very pleased with the training. Peter and Christian were so helpful in all aspects. I, as a novice to programming, was so appreciative of their patience and support. I feel empowered!!
I enjoyed the class very much and the materials covered and lab portion of the class well demonstrated applications of HTML5 to website development.
I really thought the instructor was excellent. He kept the students focused on his lecture and answered all questions. His communication and presentation skills were very good.
Doug is an enthusiastic teacher, very easy to understand and went out of his way to make sure the material and pacing was tailored for the class.
Very little to improve on. Marko was prepared, well spoken, and knowledgeable on the subject matter. Once he saw the types of projects we were going to use the training for, he tailored the course to meet those needs, and did it on the fly. I leave this course much more prepared than I was a week ago. The best training course I've ever attended, hands down. Very focused, prepared, and well-taught. Lessons and examples were tailored to my group's needs. I'm very impressed.
Overall this was an excellent class and I would highly recommend it to my peers and anyone else who asked...
Very knowledgeable and friendly instructor...
It was very helpful for the instructor to check with the group about the pace of the class and slow down to review and fully explain concepts covered. I learned looots. Learning about eclipse was unexpected but I am so glad we did. I did not know we could do so much with the tool and have already installed it on my system. Also enjoyed when the instructor explained concepts on the board and where easy to understand.
Although a lot of the course material was refresher for me, I still think it was beneficial. Emil was great. I'd definitely recommend this class to somebody who was just getting started with Resin.
Cannot think of a bad thing to say about the instructor, the presentation or the material. The instructor was extremely well-prepared and always professional while remaining friendly and accessible. His knowledge was outstanding, allowing him to troubleshoot or walk us through new material on the fly. The prepared material was nearly ideal to cover the range of topics, presented in an order that kept the course both understandable and challenging.
Excellent class, instructor had a high degree of expertise in Android and SW engineering best practices. the class was flexible to tailor to my project and interest area.
Wolf is great. By the end of the week he felt like part of our team.
Great Class!
Overall the course was clear, excellent, well-driven and the teacher knew the subject well. Great course, very clear. I'll recommend it for sure.
Excellent Course! Excellent Teacher!
Marakana offered us a comprehensive and knowledgeable view of Tomcat that prepared us to meet the challenges of converting our entire Application Server infrastructure to the low-cost open source solution offered by Tomcat.
Great course - I'm new at programming in general so it was pretty intense for me. But I learned a lot and am excited in using what I've learned!
Thanks Marko....this was great!
No improvements. I am a newbie to Ruby and have struggled with learning it on my own. By attending the class, Ruby finally makes sense to me. It was presented in a clear and well structured manner. Thank you!
Robert customized the course to our needs really well. He is an excellent instructor and exhibited sound knowledge of Python and a lot of patience when dealing with us. He was super flexible in every aspect and I am very pleased with the overall experience.
I thought the initial javascript training was very helpful.
The length of THIS course should be 2 weeks because all the topics covered in itself is a course.
This course gave me a very clear understanding about setting up Tomcat, deploying applications and setting the security. I learnt the JDBC aspect of the Tomcat and I really benefitted from this training as a developer
The exercises were great in that they provide concise examples of each portion of the HTML5 spec. The instructor did a great job explaining HTML5 and provided many resources to just us started in our HTML5 efforts.
Jens Østergaard is an excellent Scrum Trainer, and he knows how to convey Scrum to the class.
Excellent Format of Training... Excellent trainer... Its nice learning from somebody that actually uses the software, not just read it from a book... Thank You
There were a lot of typos in Apache Web Server book... Neven is an excellent instructor. He made the class enjoyable and is very animated. His patience is incredible... Dawn Gordon
This serves as a good introductory-class to the new subjects in html5.
good course
Marko is a great teacher and explains how things work well. I learned a lot during the class. It really worth the trip from Taipei to San Francisco.
Neven and Doug are great instructors: knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. They catered the class to our needs and went the extra mile by staying after class to to discuss web technology that could benefit our product development.
It was an excellent class, with a lot of content, organized really nicely. I got a fair idea on what html5 has to offer and it's limitations as they exist in current scenario.
Wolf is a very capable instructor who really knows the material well. He took the time to understand our needs both as an organization and as individuals, and adjusted the course content appropriately. He was able to coach some of our novice team members through the basics while still covering more advanced topics for those of us who already have TDD experience. My only disappointment is that we didn't have more time to cover writing user stories.
The trainer was very knowledgeable. The course was a good blend of what android platform is and how to do the basic programming on it.
Good Course. Met my expectations for the course. Sasa was very familar with the material and good instructor.
This course exceeded my expectations! I learned more in a day about Android than I picked up over the past few years. A great course!
Class was exactly what I needed and wanted. Expectations were exceeded as we learned overall java concepts as well as specifics to apache tomcat. The few items the instructor was unfamiliar with he researched and found the appropriate answers for. I would highly recommend this class for any one trying to obtain tomcat skill or understand overall Middle ware application server skills. The snippets of development were helpful to understand the overall technology and how it all works together.
Outstanding course. Peter is a great instructor. Well done.
Since its a 5 day course, its very easy to loose focus, I will admit I did loose focus :) But the instructor was spot on. I am amazed at the amount of stuff he knows. I mean he went on on and on about things in the course and also about things that we asked which were not a part of the course. Completely willing to help.
I found there was very little that could be done to improve this course, especially given the beginner level, the pace was just right and the amount of material covered was quite broad. I learned a great deal more from this class than I expected, especially given the very short term nature of the course. I really feel I was given a good fundamental understanding of Java. The instructor was clear, concise, worded himself clearly and unambiguously, and rigorously pushed the class to apply good coding practices. I would definitely take this course again if I had to do it over again.
Knew the subject matter very well. Did higher level overviews but could get down into lower level questions when needed. Very well paced and covered a lot of material for the 3 day course.
I thought the training was great.
Awesome course! I came in knowing practically nothing but the basics of iOS/Objective-C programming and I was able to follow along through the whole course along with others in the class who had far more experience. Instruction was well paced and breaks were taken to help when someone needed help but never seemed to lag. Instructor knew how to keep everyone on track and have plenty of time to answer any/all questions.
The course was informative and the instructor was entertaining.
Thanks! Great class! I learned a lot and look forward to using what I learned next week.
Jim Coplien is an amazing instructor. He brought great energy and passion to the subject and he explained everything in a way that made it easy to understand. I was very impressed with his vast amount of experience and knowledge. I feel I have walked away from this course with a true understanding of how Agile and Scrum work. Thank you!
I have learnt a lot from this course and I'm now waiting to apply the knowledge I got into my work area. Thank you very much for the opportunity and you're great course.
I greatly appreciate that we were given a huge resource to take home and expand on what we learned in the 2 day course. There really is no way that everything could be covered in 2 days.
Perfect. This is exactly the level of detail that I expected and needed.
The instructor was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all questions that came up. He clearly has extensive knowledge in this domain area.
Great job everyone! Thanks for putting this together! Good luck in your future ventures!
great course, thank you
We may invite the instructor come to our company and teach us.
This was one of the best training courses specific to my job at Sprint. All aspects of the course will help me better position Android devices with my customers.
This was a very good course. We covered a lot of ground. Mark answered tough questions in depth.
I think it was overall a very good speed given the wide range of experience(s) in the group.
Android Bootcamp training was great. Sasa was very knowledgeable and covered a lot. I feel much more comfortable in both in Android and the Eclipse environment. Having good knowledge of Eclipse and Java helps you keep up, but snapshots of the work done is available throughout the day to keep you from falling behind. The class was definitely worth it.
Simply great training I've ever had!!!
Course was fast but good. I certainly learnt things and it cleared up some misconceptions I had about Android. Definitly enjoyed the course.
I really enjoyed the class. There was a lot of information covered.
Michael was a very proficient and knowledgeable instructor. He really took the time to focus on and answer the the questions that were important to our group.
I really enjoyed the class. I am a beginner, but I think I got a really good grasp of what HTML5 can do.
Instructor 's real world examples put an exclamation point on this training.
Excellent content. Great way to motivate both employees and customers as to the capabilities android can offer for business or consumer needs.
Brandon was awesome and I would definitely recommend him to friends/colleagues
very intensive course but great !!!
SF HTML5 Bootcamp is a great course that gets you up-and-running with HTML5. The instructor really knows his stuff and takes the time to explain some of the tougher-to-understand concepts. You'll learn a ton from the easy-to-digest course and hands-on labs. You'll not only enjoy the course; you'll get excited about building cool HTML5 web apps.
Great class - love it!
The method used to teach concepts was very excellent. I liked Sasa's way of presentation. Recommend the course.
Great training, well organized. also the instructor has a great and deep understanding of the tomcat , as well as other related technologies.
Aleksandra did an excellent job though overall and was able to adjust the material well to our queries.
Instructor is amazing. He inspired me so much that, I was waiting for Monday to go back to my team and implement the ideas I have learned in the class. This is probably the best learning I took in the recent years. Worth it.
The instructor has mastered his subject matter and as an bonus he is an excellent developer. The learning wasn't bounded by hours in the classroom but with extra materials and access to instructor's web site, it's a long term benefits.
Really enjoyed the class and learnt way over my head but working on getting more information as the classes touched on some very interesting Android potentials and development that is open to flexibility and use. I really liked the class and was intensely engaged as it makes one understand Android in a whole new level! Bravo Marakana
Very good.
This class was excellent! Sasa is a great instructor with a good understanding of theory, but also a top notch developer very familiar with the low-level details -- super impressive. This class exceeded my expectations. I learned so much. Thank you. :-)
Mark Murphy is an excellent trainer. I would recommend this class, and Mark's books, to anyone wanting to learn Android programming.
Modern style of learning. Liked the monitors that we can see at the same time.
This was one of the best trainings I have ever done. Doug was beyond knowledgeable and engaged. I greatly enjoyed the discussion and I feel that for the team overall this was a great experience.
The amount of stuff to be covered in this course is quite too much, but instructor covered pretty much all. The time can be extended of this course to cover it better. Amazing Course!
Overall, very, very good class. It was extremely helpful. Marko is an outstanding insructor. Andriod Bootcamp exceeded my expectations in terms of the depth of content and coverage of a wide variety of topics. The instructor was very knowledgeable and provide many hands-on exercises which helped me get from zero to productive development in one week!
Very Nice, covered the topics well. Good to have Marko here.
This was, by far, the best training course I've ever attended. Mark (the instructor) was very knowledgeable and certainly had a strong grip on the subject matter. It was refreshing to learn so much (with a touch of humor). I'll be looking for future courses from this instructor and Marakana....
good course
Sasa did a great job.
Overall great course to get started with Android with lots of in dept information on how to do a good working app.
Quite a lot gets covered in 2 days. Will give any one a quick start. Thank you, enjoyed it.
