Training

In just a few minutes' time I'll be heading to Worcester to deliver three days of advanced Cocoon training. The course will include lots of fun stuff like cforms, database persistence, and authentication.

I particularly enjoy delivering Cocoon training since my approach is fairly hands-on. This tends to keep it lively and interesting for everyone (I hope), and it's always fun to see how people run with an idea when they've got the code in front of them to work with.

I've done variations of Cocoon training since 2001 (when I taught the basics of XML and XSLT using a Cocoon back-end. It was running on my lowly Pentium 3 laptop and supported 30+ simultaneous users all uploading, viewing, and breaking their content). Things have moved on since then - apparently most of the delegates tomorrow will have a Mac of some sort. Maybe collaborative learning via SubEthaEdit will be the order of the day? :-)
