Writing one article at a time just isn't enough (TLCC course review)04/28/2004
I received the latest TLCC WebSphere,
Domino and Notes News from Howard Greenberg of The
Learning Continuum Company, Ltd.
(or TLCC) today, and noticed this item:
New Course! - Servlet and JSP Programming
using WebSphere Studio 5
Continue your WebSphere education with
Servlet and JSP Programming using WebSphere Studio 5. This
advanced programming course focuses on servlets, JavaServer Pages, and
JDBC. This course will teach you how to:
- Manage user sessions to add shopping cart
functionality to your site
- Add error handling to servlets and JSPs
- Use and create Custom tag libraries to
create dynamic JavaServer Pages
- Build a Java Bean and then use it on a
JavaServer Page
- Use JDBC to integrate your WebSphere application
with relational databases
- Test and deploy your WebSphere application
using the tools included in WebSphere Studio
And much, much, more...
This course, the second in a series of
WebSphere courses for all developers, is designed for all developers
who want to learn to develop WebSphere applications. (Please note that
this course is not for Domino developers, see below.) This course includes
many live demonstrations and student activities done right in the WebSphere
Studio development environment. After completing this course you should
be prepared to take the IBM certification exam (286), one of two required
exams to become an IBM Certified Solution Developer on WebSphere Studio,
V5.
Since I've previously written two other
articles on WebSphere certification topics (Prepare
for WebSphere Certification Exams
for WebSphere Advisor and 10
Steps to WebSphere Studio Application Developer Certification
for e-pro magazine), I thought it would be a good idea to continue on this
path and review the above course as well. So, I contacted Howard
and offered to review this course for TLCC. He accepted. Unfortunately,
I couldn't submit this review to The
Advisor magazine, as TLCC's courses
compete with The Advisor's own Advisor
Academy. I remembered that
DominoPower reviewed TLCC's Introduction to WebSphere 4.0 for Domino Developers
course back in the September
2002 issue, so Howard and I decided
to contact David Gerwitz to see if he'd be interested in publishing my
review.
