Welcome to Online-eTraining, where you'll find free online training for IT professionals like yourself.
I'm a Sun Certified Web Component Developer and have taught Java Web Programming as an adjunct professor at Portland Community College for 5 years. The PCC class is an accredited 4-hour course that covers everything from setting up a Tomcat web server, to creating a MySQL database-enabled web services application, including Servlets, JavaServer Pages, and EJBs.
I’m also a Sr Software Consultant in the Portland area with over 12 years of software development and management experience in both J2EE and .NET. The most rewarding aspect of consulting and teaching is when I meet former students who are now working for one of my clients, or when they email me to let me know they got a better job as a result of taking one of my classes.
The courses presented on this web site contain much of the same content I teach at PCC, minus the academic accreditation and associated fees. There’s a synergistic relationship between the courses on this site and the courses I teach at PCC, where improvements to one translate to improvements to the other - making each better than before.
Each course on this site is presented with preparation materials that should be read before attempting the course exercises.
I hope the concepts taught on this web site will help you improve your programming skills, and I welcome your questions and comments along the way.
