Active Learning

We try to use active learning to help you learn better. Here's one thing you can do on your own: take better notes using what has come to be known as the Cornell Note-taking System. If you maintain an active focus - and the Cornell system helps you do so - you will remember much more of the material in any course or workshop you attend, not just ours!

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):

He is the current author/maintainer of Java Enterprise Edition: JSF, EJB and JPA;

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
