2008 / November 12^th/ Looking for some on-site training sessions?

I’ve always loved teaching people. Not so much in the big-classroom professor type of way, but in a smaller, more intimate way — where you’re really teaching someone something, and not just telling them. At my old job I had the pleasure of not only sitting through a few training sessions, but giving a few too — and it was something I found I really enjoyed.

Now that I’ve left my agency — I don’t really have any peers to teach any more. No more weekly status meetings or large teams of junior developers. But I’d still love to keep teaching — and so I’m writing this post in the hopes that I can get back into that. My colleagues and I over at entp are looking to start up some small training sessions for people — anything ranging from general design principles to the internals of how Rails works.

Topic Areas

We’ve got some seriously smart people working at ENTP, so the topics we cover are pretty broad. We’ve got Ruby experts. We’ve got Rails experts. We’ve got Cocoa experts. We’ve got Javascript experts — we love what we do, and so we’re always working with new technologies. We’ve also got core committers on the team — the actual people who have written code for Rails & Prototype. Who better to teach you than the people who wrote the code? Right now on our list of topics are the following:

• Ruby and Rails end-to-end
• Javascript, DOM Scripting, AJAX
• Web Application design principles
• (X)HTML, CSS & Standards-based development
• Distributed version control (Git)

Credentials

Between the dozen or so employees of ENTP, we’ve got people who have written books, published magazines, spoken at conferences and even organized a few conferences (and unconferences!) too. We’ve been working with the web for over a decade, and have been hacking on Rails since it was originally open sourced. You’d struggle to find a more qualified group of people to teach your team application design & development.

Great, where do I start?

Just head on over to the training page or get in touch with us with any questions you might have. Of course you’re always free to get in touch with me personally as well (kneath@gmail.com).
