So my workplace has recently started doing a fair amount of web development. Currently there are only 2 developers other than myself who can grasp more than the basic concepts of of the languages involved.
My manager wants to bring some of the other developers up to speed to take over some of the web development work that is piling up....
I have a background of Java and would like to start learning PHP. It should be interactive as in having "assignments" and problems to be solved as a part of the course and not just as a course which gives the syntax and the semantics of the language.

Does your company offer you training
courses to enhance your skills?
How many courses per year are you
allowed to take part in?
Does your company pay for the
training courses or do you have to
pay for them?
Please let me know what you think about this subject and how your company treats this.
EDIT: Not many answers up to now, but it ...
I'm looking for some good training courses on Javascript, Ajax, or any other web development technologies in the Minneapolis / St. Paul Minnesota area. Anyone have any ideas? Local hands on training is preferred but online training will work to as long as it's good.

I just love programming and I keep doing it in my spare time.
I have even taken some classes in fields other than my usual working ones, tools etc. Best so far has been Big Nerd Ranch where one gets to chill out and code for a week at a resort. Review
I have also seen this one www.geekcruises.com, old now. But are there more programmin...
There's heaps on the Microsoft website, small 2-hour courses or bundled in packs like this Collection 6460: Visual Studio 2008: Windows Presentation Foundation
Are they good in terms of knowledge received? Value for money? Do employers approve if they are on the resume?

Hi all! I'm looking for an advanced programming course, preferably in c#. Ideally, I'd like it to be boot-camp style where you focus intensely for a week. I've looked at some college courses and they seem too drawn out and I haven't found one with the content that I've liked. I am not looking for a conference such as PDC or TechEd or any...
You have the
Sussman lectures
( replicated at
the wayback page )
also the classes at
as well as the videos that is in some of the courses at MIT's OCW site.
So does anyone know any videos courses out there. I mean serious courses, not simply things like Google Tech Talks ( which are nice too but not what I'm looking for ).
[EDIT] ...
I would like to get some good training on how to publish and consume web services using PHP. My employer is allowing me a budget to do this for next year.
I was wondering if anyone new of some good web service training using PHP as the tool to do so.
Edit:
Just to clarify a little. I have been using PHP for about 4 years now and am fair...
I'm interested in measuring and improving (where necessary) my team's SQL-92 skills. Can anyone recommend an appropriate on-line course and/or examination?
Ideally it would be vendor-neutral, but it could also be MSSQL/Oracle specific, as long as the proprietary bits were flagged as such.

I'm a software developer at a large insurance company in Canada. Our dept. is looking at getting some training for us all. We are mostly a java group (JSF/JSP/Servlets) but obviously we use a lot of other web technologies (tiles, ajax, YUI ...etc). The main topics we're looking at are:
JSF
AJAX
Web security
Advanced Java/EE topics

I am thinking of going to the pragmatic studio iphone course, but am a little wary due to the price. I currently do contract work and therefore don't have a company that will pay the course costs for me, other than mine of course.
After travel, food, hotel and currency conversion the course runs up to over 3500.
Is it worth it?

I am looking for some good free video training (Webcast, Screencast, etc.) that focus on ANY of the following:
.NET
Visual Studio
SQL Server
I would like to focus on Videos only becuase it is a great learning tool to see what other programs people using while developing. (Such as Resharper, Code Rush, RefactorPro, Snippets, Red Gate...
I'm starting a job soon where I will be dealing with PHP solutions and Magento , I have looked through the Magento wiki etc and played around with an install for it .
But im still quite confused by how it works. Especially the MVC side of things (most of my PHP experience comes from working with wordpress).
I would like to know if anyo...
I am going to be giving developers at my company a crash course on design patterns (after coming across some scary code recently).
One of the most important things I want to put across is that they save time in both the long and short term (which they really do!) - as developers here are put under quite a bit of time strain. All in all ...
I'm looking for an Open Source Project for delivering a course trainings and to manage courses, instructors. I need something similar to Moodle but in Java.
Thanks

Let me quick introduce myself. I work as architectural technician (and it is not system architecture). After surviving second wave of redundancies in my office, I have decided that it is a time for change, and I don’t want to be in the same position in the future. As I was always interested in computers, software, etc., I figured out ...
My job is to spread the word about this free SCJA (Sun Certified Java Associate) course at my school. I'm also receiving all subscribers information such as e-mail, name, an phone no. I already have almost 100 suscribers, and there'll be possibly more in these days. The problem is that the course has limited capacity for just 60 of them....

Hello guys!
We'll soon have some high school kids here in our company for some training lessons in programming for about 1 1/2 days.
We decided to do Visual Basic.NET and thought about programming a little calculator with the four basic operators.
Considering the fact that they will be here for only 1 1/2 days, this application might ...
