A couse outline can be found here.

You better be quick, as the first courses starts in only two weeks!

@Raffaele,

I absolutely understand that if you have to pay for training privately, then 1.200€ is a steep price.

But for a company - even in Italy - then it is normally well worth the price. The number of tips and best practices that you will pick up during 4 days of training will often take you many months to figure out yourself. E.g. Eclipse has 3 different versions of the preferences service, each with different capabilities, so which of these should you use in a particular application? Or what exactly are the differences between views and editors and how can these be ironed out?

Of cause I should mension here, that I also run training in Eclipse RCP - which is probably why I find the prices reasonable :-)

I have looked for 4-5 days of training in J2EE in Italy, just to get an idea of the price level and from what I can see, these offers are usually 1.500-1.700€, so in my book 1.200€ isn't all bad.

Regards,

Tonny

Hi,

thanks for this interview, I found it very interesting and exciting too!

I'm an Eclipse fan especially for its RCP capabilities but also beacause of its open nature and origins!

I'm also have written an RCP product in my company and many plugins (wizards and views), I'm an autodidact as many of you obviously.

Now, I've taken a look to these training series...I'm from Italy and I would be very itnerested to study in deep RCP Eclipse...

I was thinking to subscribe to Vienna or Munich or why not Paris, because they are the nearest locations to my home....but when I saw the prices I've changed idea....

Vienna Price: Special event promotional price of 1,212€ plus 20% VAT
Munich Price: Special event promotional price of 1,212€ plus 19% VAT
Paris Price: Special event promotional price of 1,190€, VAT included

Now, I don't want to do a polemic, but, I simply don't understand how, a 4 days course can be cost in that way.

1200€ is just above the medium of a salary of a month for an Italian worker (I'm talking obviously in IT world), but I think in Germany, France and Austria, the salaries should not be very different...

If for a worker is too expensive...imagine for a student.....

Without polemic, I'll continue to study as autodidact but I would like very much to be present too in one of these courses...

Best regards

Raffaele
