Heinz Kabutz, The Java Specialists Newsletter

During this 4-day course, we will study over 1000 slides of advanced Java topics. Each major section is followed by practical hands-on exercises to apply what you have learned. Even the most experienced Java programmer will be stimulated and challenged.

This course is ideally suited to the professional Java programmer with at least 2 years experience, who would like to learn how to truly master the Java Programming Language.

Most customers prefer our intense 4-day course, as it means their developers have minimal time away from work. We also offer the same course over 5 days, still starting each day at 8:30am and ending at 17:00, but with more time for exercises and discussions. The course will then be charged at 25% more than our normal 4-day course.
