I am offering classes in the general field of web development and will cover everything required to get an object oriented n-tier application up and running from the ground up in a Microsoft Windows environment. Classes can cover any of the following and will be tweaked based on your existing knowledge (if you don’t see it in the list but think it should be – just ask!):
  • Requirements gathering
  • Application design (Object Oriented Design theory)
  • Documentation (Project Plan, Software Requirements Specification)
  • Infrastructure design
  • Infrastructure installation (hosted vs. dedicated servers, server configuration, IIS, SQL Server, Mail Servers, etc.)
  • Setting up your development environment (source control, project management, visual studio)
  • Coding basics (ASP.NET 2.0, C#, SQL, tSQL, JavaScript, AJAX, HTML, etc.)
  • Object Oriented basics (data access layer, providers, business layer, presentation)
  • Putting it all together
  • Starting a career in computer consulting
  • Running a consulting business
  • Working with the local headhunters
  • How to build a great resume
  • Passing technical interviews

The classroom environment

In Person
My classroom is very much like any classroom you would find in a local night school or business conference room (on a smaller scale!). It has 3 tables that seat two people per table with a large white board at the front of the room. I have every reference we could possibly require for any given course which will be made available to you during your time with me. I have an internet connection per each seat which you can connect your laptop to for research and projects (generally I ask that you bring your own laptop but if you don't have one I have computers that I can make available to you at no extra charge).

Virtual
I am also willing to teach you virtually over the phone, skype, yahoo, msn or any other form of audio communication. I would also require a connection to your computer so that I can mentor you during working exercises (documentation, coding, server configuration, etc.).

Dates and Times?
I am completely flexible for one on one sessions and can be available to you in the mornings and evenings during the week, or anytime during the weekends. Group sessions are generally held in the evening hours during the week and anytime during the weekends.

How long is a class?
A class is not less than one hour long but can be as long as you require with proper notification to me so I can be prepared.

How Much?

One on One
I am totally flexible in the training that I offer. Generally speaking my rate is $60/hr. We can pack in as much as you like into the time that you reserve with me in what ever format suites you best. I can either provide you with a structured step by step training on a specific topic (like programming 101) or we can do something more informal where you pick a subject and we dive in.

Group
With a group session I charge $45/hr. This is usually more formal with a predetermined subject matter.

Package Rates
If you know up front that you will need or want more than one class I can design a package based on your needs at a discounted rate.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
