In general, onsite J2EE and Ajax training courses
are better than public ones. In particular:
The onsite courses are cheaper (no venue to rent, so your price is lower).
The onsite courses are more convenient (you don't have to travel).
The onsite courses are more effective (the topics and pace can be
customized to suit your needs and background).
For clients in the Baltimore/Washington area, the onsite courses have
a more flexible schedule (e.g., we can meet evenings or afternoons or one or two days per week instead of
on n consecutive days).
However, many clients simply do not have enough developers for an onsite
course, so we periodically offer open enrollment courses as well.
These courses still feature Marty's lively and entertaining presentation
style, lots of relevant hands-on exercises, coverage of best practices,
up-to-date topics and examples, and
the chance to ask as many hard questions as you would like.
And we still offer the same guarantee: if you are not completely satisfied with
the course, we will refund the full cost. All spring/summer 2010 courses are
held at the JHU Dorsey Center
in Elkridge, Maryland (5 minutes from BWI airport) and are co-sponsored by
the Johns Hopkins University Engineering for Professionals program
The following summarizes the schedule for the public (open enrollment) training courses for the spring and summer.
Fall and winter course schedules will be announced during the summer.
Onsite courses ,
however, can be arranged at your organization at any mutually agreeable time.

JSF 2.0 May 24-28, 2010
Let's admit it: JSF 1.x was a pain in the neck. Sure, it was the only major Web app framework that
was part of the Java EE spec, and it had lots of great third-part component libraries. But, for ordinary developers
it was tedious and cumbersome to use. However, JSF 2.0 is a dramatic improvement in
almost every way: more powerful, much simpler to use, has integrated Ajax support, and is better from top to bottom.
This course will give a thorough introduction to JSF 2.0 including annotations, defaults, Ajax functionality,
page navigation, validation, event handling, page templating with facelets, composite components, and lots more. The course
assumes moderate to significant previous Java experience, but does not require any JSF 1.x experience.
For registration and more information, see
the JSF 2.0 training course page .
