Polymorph Systems has scheduled their two flagship Java courses for October and November this year.

The Java Intermediate course will be presented in their new training facilities in Worcester, South Africa, from 18 to 21 October.

There is an early-bird special on this course: if you register before 15 September 2010, you will get a huge 20% discount on the course fees.

The very exclusive Java Master course will run from 22 to 25 November 2010, also in Worcester.

And for those interested in the overview of the courses, read this:

Java Intermediate Course
Our Java Intermediate course is aimed at developers who feel they got a basic understanding of Java and OO, and would like to learn more about topics like multi-threading, generics, annotations, a design pattern or two, network and database programming, and a bit of reflection to round it off.
This course is extremely practical oriented, and also discuss the use of unit-testing (JUnit) and basics of logging.

This course is based on The JavaSpecialist Java SE course material. We added a lot more programming exercises and some more advanced topics.

Java Master Course
This is easily the best Java course in existence. It is meant for intermediate to advanced Java programmers, and tackle very interesting topics on multi-threading and concurrent programming, performance tuning and optimization, data structures, the NIO library and lots more.
The trainer (Herman Lintvelt) has been hand-trained by Dr Heinz Kabutz (the author of the course) in Crete, Greece, and is one of only a select few in the world that is qualified to present this course, and the only one in Africa.
This is a very intense and challenging course, and the amount you will learn is extremely valuable – to your company and your own career.
Read here why you should consider this course, and what the prerequisites are.
Students who successfully complete the course will get a certificate from The JavaSpecialists, issued by Heinz Kabutz.

Please contact us if you have enquiries about the course.

I have been doing a lot of work around renewing my Java courses, talking to Heinz Kabutz in Crete, creating a new website.
Why?
Because I realized I have a passion for teaching others how to become great programmers. So am starting to concentrate more on training (while still doing enough real development work to keep the balance).

I am very excited to announce three new open Java courses that are going to be presented in June/July in South Africa by me.

First we have the Java and OO Foundation course, from 14-15 and 17-18 June 2010 (16th is Youth Day), happening in Worcester, South Africa, at our new training facility there. I can recommend this course to anyone starting out with OO and Java. Most of the content comes from my friend Heinz Kabutz’s JavaSpecialist Java Foundation course.

Then we have our first presentation of the Java Intermediate Course happening from 5 to 8 July, also in Worcester. I can recommend this course to developers who are comfortable with the basics of the Java language and OO, and who wants to learn more about real life Java topics like using JUnit, concurrency, generics and annotations.

Finally we have another big first for Africa: the first presentation of the now famous Java Specialist Master Course, from 13 to 16 July 2010. All those Soccer World Cup fans out there: stay a week longer in South Africa and come attend this brilliant course, authored by Heinz Kabutz.

I am extremely excited about our new training facilities in Worcester, which we call “The Loft @ PolymorphHQ”. Worcester is only about 100km away from Cape Town, a very scenic drive over the mountains. I am planning to combine all courses presented in Worcester with a bit of wine-tasting or even game-drive experiences. We are also investigating providing special packages that include accommodation. And we will definitely work in a nice steak and some good red wine with great Java discussions one of the evenings of the course.

I also want to announce our The Loft opening special: if you register for both the Java and OO Foundation (14 June 2010) and the Java Intermediate (5 July 2010) courses, you save R7,000.

I hope to have a lot of great Java developers coming out of Worcester these next few years
