Java and Java technologies : training courses : Well House Consultants

Welcome to Well House Consultants' website. We offer training courses in a variety of Open Source subjects, including Java, which is the technology that we're covering on this page. Please follow one of the links at the top of the page if you're looking for another of our technologies.

Courses run at our own training centre in Melksham, Wiltshire, England. Because many of our subjects are niche, we also provide overnight accommodation in our own hotel rooms within our training centre, and you may book the course and accommodation as a single package.

We run public courses, each of which is scheduled to run from 3 to 9 times per year, and on which we accept bookings from different organisations and individuals who wish to learn about Java following our published agenda. Public courses are all written by ourselves, lead by our own tutor, and limited to just eight delegates per course so that the tutor has plenty of time to answer any questions that arise, and provide personal support during practical sessions.

We also run private courses for individual companies / organisations. Private courses are scheduled to suit our client's needs, and can run at our training centre or at customer premises almost anywhere in the world. Because our course materials are written by ourselves and modular, we can tailor private courses to suit our client's needs.

Java and Java technologies

Java itself if a programming language. But it's more than than because Java programs run in a "virtual machine" with which a whole load of other add-ons ("technologies") are associated.

At Well House Consultants, we have run a variety of public Java courses from as early as 1996, and a wide range of private courses. We currently offer the following public course:

• Learning to Program in Java for newcomers to programming with no (or little) prior programming experience. Java has a wide variety of applications, and this course is tailored towards delegates who will be writing and maintaining code for web site use.

• Java Bootcamp for experienced programmers who are converting to Java. This course is tailored towards delegates who will be maintaining and writing server side code (JSPs and Servlets) rather than using Java for Applets or programmable devices.

• Deploying Apache httpd and Tomcat course - 2 days - which overs the installation, setup and integration of these two servers through various connectors. This course is ideal for system administrators who'll be looking after systems running Java applications (servlets or JSPs) under Tomcat.

If you have a group of delegates who require Java training, we can offer a wider variety private courses based on the following agendae above, or on Java Programming for the Web which adds in depth server side programming (servlets, JSPs, interfacing to databases etc) to the content.

For groups of Administrators who are NOT familiar with Linux but will be deploying Java applications under that operating system, we also offer a combined private Deploying Java applications on Linux and Unix program.

Our basic Java training notes are available for free download if you would like to follow these courses in your own time

Java was written and maintained by Sun Microsystems. Oracle has now purchased Sun, and continues to offer the Java technology. Java itself is now also available Open Source. Tomcat and httpd are also Open Source projects which are maintained and downloaded via the Apache Software Foundation.
