HTML5 is the next major milestone in HTML and it is not just another incremental enhancement; it represents an enormous advance for modern web applications. HTML5 is such a big step forward that it prompted Vic Gundotra, VP of Engineering at Google, to say "The web has not seen this level of transformation, this level of acceleration, in the past ten years… we're betting big on HTML5."

A large number of features are already supported in browsers, so it is time to start using it! In this HTML5 Fast Track training course, you will learn how to create HTML5 web pages and web applications using HTML5 markup and HTML5 JavaScript APIs.

Introduction to programming for the Android platform course is designed to quickly get you up to speed with writing apps for Android devices. You will learn the basics of Android platform. You will get to understand the application lifecycle.

Marakana Spring/Hibernate Training is a 5-day course that teaches you how to develop enterprise Java web applications with the Spring, Hibernate, and Spring Security (Acegi) open-source frameworks. The class is designed to run as a hands-on tutorial-style with more than 50% of time being devoted to writing code.

The main goal of this course is to set to students on the right path of developing Java web applications on a best-of-breed software stack (Spring and Hibernate) while utilizing time-tested best-practices. While we don't skip on the theory, students focus most of their energy on why they should use a particular technique, and how to best apply it.

Marakana Java™ EE on JBoss™ training is a must-have for anyone wanting to learn how to develop enterprise Java applications on JBoss application server platform. By the end of this example-packed, lab-driven course you will become proficient in Java EE specifications, APIs, semantics, development, as well as JBoss AS deployments, architecture, administration, tuning, security, high-availability + scalability, and best practices. 

This course is based on Java EE 5 and JBoss 5.1.

The JavaScript, AJAX, and Frameworks course covers the programming with the JavaScript language, building web pages that interact with server-side resources, and accelerating development with popular application frameworks. Participants will learn how to use JavaScript and related debugging tools within a browser context, and how to use the web page as a dynamic user interface. Students will then learn how to interact with web services to perform business operations and communicate results to a user, and how to leverage existing JavaScript frameworks to easily add advanced capabilities to their apps, while keeping them cross-platform and cross-browser compatible.

Let's admit it: JSF 1.x was a pain in the neck. Sure, it was the only major Web app framework that was part of the Java EE spec, and it had lots of great third-part component libraries. But, for ordinary developers it was tedious and cumbersome to use. However, JSF 2.0 is a dramatic improvement in almost every way: more powerful, much simpler to use, has integrated Ajax support, and is better from top to bottom. This course will give a thorough introduction to JSF 2.0 including annotations, defaults, Ajax functionality, page navigation, validation, event handling, page templating with facelets, composite components, and lots more.

The NetBeans Platform is a mature open sourced Swing framework for building general rich client applications. The platform is a "generic application", that is, a runtime which can be used to develop desktop applications. NetBeans IDE is one example of this type of application, but there are many others.

One of the key distinctions of software built upon the NetBeans Platform is modularity: reuse in the large. Such software is designed as logical sets of macro-components which integrate through well-defined API contracts. Writing modular applications brings some enhancements to programming in standard Java, particularly in the ability to have Java classes which are only public to other classes within the archive they reside in. This has a number of beneficial effects on development: in particular, the ability to develop cleaner, simpler APIs by being able to fully conceal implementation from foreign code, while retaining type-safety.

Delivered by Eppleton, a certified NetBeans Platform consultancy in Munich, Germany, the NetBeans Platform Certified Training shows you how to develop desktop applications on the NetBeans Platform from the ground up. On the first day, we start with modularity: why does it make sense to create modular applications? How and why do we isolate modules and how do isolated modules communicate with each other? On the second day, we dive into the Swing components provided by the NetBeans Platform, picking up from the window system discussed at the end of the first day, continuining with nodes, explorer views, and the widgets provided by the visual library. On the third day, we learn how to provide menu items and toolbar buttons and then we tour through the most important remaining APIs. We wrap up by discussing how modular applications are distributed and how to distribute plugins in the middle of release cycles, either as new features or patches.

Python Fundamentals is a 4-day training course in the Python language and its many applications.
