Struts Training (Darn Cheap too) If you're looking to learn more about advanced features of Struts, you might want to checkout BaseBeans's upcoming training. I received the following e-mail in my Inbox this evening.

Announce: "*Best Practices in Struts -  Web Training*" by Cekvenich, 
Husted, and Turner and a presentation by Momjian on PostgreSQL. (each a 
published author)

Struts 1.1 might be released in March, so every Saturday at 10:30 AM 
Easter, watch and hear presentation via WebEx.com.

Meeting #	Date	 Title
616291003	1-Mar	 MVC Intermediate Setup
614301419	8-Mar	 MVC View for CMS/Contact
611367121	15-Mar 	 MVC – Ted Advanced + DAO Lab
611903740	22-Mar	 MVC – Bruce pgSQL + Multi Row Lab
611213868	29-Mar	 MVC - Turner + Options/Nested
(once you connect via PC, telecom phone is 1-408-964-1050)

This presentation is almost FREE (other than the cost of WebEx), the 
sooner you register, the cheaper it is.

A week of training by others could be $2400! Plus travel costs. Plus 
they did not get voted best, baseBeans.com did!

Register and pay at: http://www.basebeans.com/do/classReservation
Cost of all 5 sessions + labs (8 hours for each session) is .... $155 if 
you pre-register, or $275 if you late register and $475 if you register 
in March.

Labs (on your own time, hours each) include: Multi Row Updates, 
Validation, Tiles, Navigation, EL, Nested, Options, CRUD, etc. full 
agenda was published.

Each lab is at least 8 hours and required, if you do not do the labs, 
the next presentation will not make sense, no pretenders here. No money 
back for this, other baseBeans.com presentations are money back!

I'd sign up, but Saturdays are reserved for Julie and Abbie. Posted in Java at Feb 16 2003, 07:34:22 PM MST Add a Comment

Wrox Chapters: Round II I, like Dave, have been working my butt off all weekend to try and get my Wrox Chapters edited and returned by tomorrow. Can you imagine my jealousy when I say his post this morning saying he was done?! That bastard!! ;-)

As you can see, I've returned to mismanaging my time (i.e. blogging). I've finished the 2nd drafts of my Wrox Professional JSP chapters. The reviewers seemed to like my 1st drafts, especially the Performance and Debugging chapter, but that did not stop them from making hundreds of comments and thus burning two perfectly good weekends.

Dave - you had two weekends!! I'm even more jealous now! I only got one - think it had something to do with me turning my first chapter in a week late, and the second one in 3 weeks late!? Probably...

Oh well, I just finished my security chapter, and while it did eat up my entire weekend - I greatly enhanced it to be a much better chapter. Just as an indicator - it went from 21 pages to 40! Now it has a lot more examples and includes how-to's for configuring Tomcat's Realms (MemoryRealm, JDBCRealm, JNDIRealm and JAASRealm) and for implementing "Remember Me" functionality. The realm stuff was pretty cool - I setup OpenLDAP and was able to get that working with a JNDIRealm and also hooked a JAASRealm into the workgroup that my Windows machines belong to. As for the Remember Me feature, I figured out that I didn't need half the code I was using - which is always a good thing - making it much simpler to implement and understand. Tomorrow I'm taking the day off in hopes of finishing the Struts chapter. Wish me luck! Posted in Java at Feb 16 2003, 07:21:25 PM MST 2 Comments
