Our XPages 101 class in London was a success!
Tags: xpages training london
Yesterday, Ben Poole and Elguji's Matt White presented the XPages101 course which was designed over the last couple of months to be an introduction to developing with XPages. This class was delivered in cooperation with the London Developer Co-op
Overall the class seemed to go pretty well, the timings need some work, and sometimes we went a little fast at some points which may have left a few people overwhelmed at the fire hose of information we got through in a short period of time! That will not happen again now that I understand how it all hangs together a bit more.
The feedback from the attendees was really gratifying...
Question

Answer
95% (between Excellent and Good)
Question
How was the course material?
Answer
86.67% (between Excellent and Good)
Question
How was the presentation style?
Answer
86.67% (between Excellent and Good)
Question
Would you recommend the course to your colleagues / nerdy friends?
Answer
Yes: 100%
Obviously there's always room for improvement and there were some great feedback comments as well...
"A real eye opener for me as I've not looked XPages prior to the course."
"Excellent value for money. Pitched just right for the first steps into XPages."
"It gave me a very good understanding of XPages under the bonnet."
"It was great being here, great course, the XPages start I was looking for."
One of the things which we had consciously not done was provide lots of handout materials. The aim was to reduce the costs of the course as much as possible. From the feedback it seems people would have been happy to pay extra to get more paper based materials. So I think in future iterations of the course we'll change that around.
The other area where a couple of people expressed an interest was for an "intermediate" course. This leaves us in a bit of a quandary, as we are not sure we know what intermediate is. So if you have any thoughts we'd love to hear them.
Overall though, as we said earlier, it was a great day. Good fun for us, and hopefully useful to everyone else.
If you are interesting having XPages application development training please let us know. We are flexible and can accomodate your specific training or application development needs.
