"The instructor had a good background in OO. His familiarity with a number of software languages and various applications realms enabled him to respond in a helpful fashion to questions raised during the lectures."

"The instructor had thorough knowledge of what was taught. He was able to find the students that were struggling and bring them up to speed. The real-life case studies were right on target and taught me a lot!"

"I was most impressed with the instructor's eagerness and willingness to custom tailor the course to meet the students' needs."

"I found the instructor incredibly patient and very knowledgeable. We were able to cover every beginning concept in enough detail to give me enough understanding to now continue to move forward on my own with Java."

"The instructor's main strengths was his knowledge on the design patterns and issues. He really helped me learn the design concepts."

"I was amazed with the amount of learning in just a week! The examples were great, and the instructor had a great combination of knowledge, patience, and humor!"

"The instructor had a large knowledge base and excellent attention to details. He also had a pleasant mix of humor and a strong desire to ensure that students understand the material."

"I was impressed with the flexibility of the program, and the full knowledge of the subject by the instructor. I enjoyed his patience and his additional notes that connected the subject with the real world."

"Well crafted/architected to give the students the best chance of understanding what is being presented. The instructor was able to engage a very diverse class - different languages, backgrounds from Fortran to C++ to C#, for current and very rusty developers. I would recommend this course to anyone who needs to quickly come up to speed on the basics of Java, OO, Eclipse IDE and patterns but there was also some more interesting and sophisticated stuff presented to whet our taste for learning more."

"The instructor had exceptional knowledge of the topic being covered. He also was able to engage us and keep us interested through examples, questions, and good humor!"

"The instructor had a comfortable ease with the material enabling him to deal with issues /questions quickly and completely. It was impressive how the most important features of the language were distilled into a 1 week course and then presented in a way that put students in front of the keyboards quickly."

"The instructor's knowledge of the subject and his ability to make it clear to the students was very helpful. I now have a much more in-depth understanding of Java and OOAD."

"The information was presented in an understandable way. I liked how the instructor made sure that everyone understood what was being taught. The instructor was also very helpful during the class exercises. The answers weren't just given, but instead we were directed towards them. This has laid a strong foundation for my start into Java programming."

"The instructor was knowledgeable in the subject matter and had real world experience. The biggest benefit I've gained from the class is to actually being able to begin programming in Java."

"The course was very well organized and he explained the concepts well. This was a very good intro to Java and OO concepts."

"The hands-on exercises were very good. The instructor did a good job of stressing the foundational aspects of Java, so that they can easily be generalized to other applications. He also did a good job of showing how code should be designed to be short and efficient. I feel I've gotten great instruction in how to use Java!"

"I was most impressed with the instructor's knowledge of the subject. He was able to explain it until you understood. I would rate this course as excellent."

"The instructor displayed mastery of the subject matter. Furthermore, he was able to communicate effectively. I would rate the lectures as excellent."
