The course commences on 18th of February, 2007 and covers some hot new topics such as the opensource javascript toolkit named Dojo, the NO-JavaScript AJAX Framework called ZK, DynaFaces - the thin application layer that renders AJAX capabilities to JSF, and Phobos - the lightweight, scripting-friendly, web application environment running on the Java platform.

Literally anyone can sign-up for it... Read the full article.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2007 From what I saw of the course outline - it's definitely worth it. The amount of information and techniques it covers is VAST and you'd stand a far wiser man if you take it up seriously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
