Training and Retraining

Gone for most of us are the days of learning a trade in youth and working at it all your life. In this high-tech world, technical professionals need frequent training updates. Here are some offerings that we either are involved in or can recommend.

Java Training

Mr. Darwin was the original author and chief instructor for two Learning Tree Java courses (now maintained by other Java experts and courseware developers):

• Java: Hands-On Introduction (Course 471);
• Java for C++ Programmers: Hands-On (Course 478).
• Learning Tree also offers a number of other Java programs.
• I am available to write and present short presentations on various topics (anything longer than a day requires special arrangements).
• I have a two-day course on TDD and JUnit that I can offer by arrangment.
• See also several presentations whose notes are available in the Java Section.

UNIX Training

Mr. Darwin is an accomplished presenter at technical conferences; please contact us directly for availability.

I offer a variety of short (half-day) talks on UNIX; please contact me to discuss your needs.

Here are some free samples:

• a roughly one-hour "UNIX Basics" talk
• a very short talk on PDF Interchange (mainly here as a demonstration of creating Flash presentations)

Regular UNIX training is offered through Learning Tree International.

Learning Tree offers a variety of UNIX courses.
