One project I’ve been working on — although not the super exciting one I can’t talk about — is online training on Groovy and Grails. The idea is to offer affordable, web-based training spread out as a series of 2-hour classes. This structure should work a lot better given our economic crisis: people don’t have to take a big block of time off work or travel to where the training is being offered. I think it’s also a nicer way to learn — by the end of 3 solid days of Groovy/Grails training, people are pretty overwhelmed and fried. Breaking it up into a series of 2 hour classes gives people the ability to take lessons home, experiment with them, and come back with better questions and ready to learn more stuff.
I’m doing this trianing in conjunction with Michael Kimsal. For more information, see http://blog.groovymag.com/2009/02/groovy-and-grails-training-classes/.
