Online Technical Training/Courses? Know a good provider?
Can anyone suggest a good site that offers quality I.T. training/courses online? Looking specifically at stuff related to enterprise-level application development. No particular platform, technologies, etc. - If they're a good provider, they'll likely have something that would interest me.
I'm just trying to weed out the many hack sites that provide basically what amount to lame "for dummies" offerings, despite their course descriptions.

What, specifically, are you trying to learn? i.e. do you not know anything about application development and are trying to learn some relevant languages to break into the industry? or are you a developer looking to change career paths?
I do have some places that I can recommend, but need some more info on what specific skills you are trying to pick up.

We offered an online extension of our classroom training at my former employer, Netdesk.com. Not sure if they are still doing it.
Regardless of where you go, ask for the instructors credentials. Some folks do well with CBTs (computer based training), but I never dug them much. Buy a good book, put on a pot of coffee and just start noodling with it. I'm teaching myself PHP/MySQL right now. Its fun. See if you can do an internship at a local company. You get experience and it could turn into a job. EDIT: Sorry, I didn't see the subject matter you are looking for. Netdesk offers MOF/MSF training. Not sure if that fit the bill. I have my masters in MIS, and the subjects you listed were pretty much the order of the day. Last edited by HardDrive; 08-08-2008 at 03:12 PM.. |

Anyway, ikar, the local state college here offers a huge amount of classes online that you can be anywhere to take obviously. I have taken quite a few lately and they were very good. Not quite the same courses you want, but I'm sure they offer something similiar. |
