TalkingTree  ColdFusion Training from Fig Leaf Software is a valuable experience

 

Earlier this week I was very fortunate to attend ColdFusion MX 7 training from Fig Leaf Software. It was a great experience, and even though I recently passed the Certified Adv ColdFusion MX 7 exam, I still found the course very helpful. The 5 hours spent on Flash CFForms was the highlight of the course for me since this is one area where I've haven't spent much time.

My manager requested a brief follow-up of my experience in the course to assess the value of the material and the quality of the instruction. I'd like to extend my internal recommendation to my blog to share with everyone else.

The Advanced ColdFusion MX 7 Development training course was a valuable learning resource even for a "battle hardened" product support engineer with years of experience. In the course of supporting customers there are many of areas of ColdFusion which remained untouched or overlooked, and the opportunity to explore the full breadth of the ColdFusion language went a long way towards filling in the last gaps in my familiarity with the language and syntax.

Furthermore, having the course content delivered by Steve Drucker, the CEO of Fig Leaf Software, a leader in ColdFusion training and consulting, was a bonus because the course material was augmented with many real world lessons of high practical utility. Moreover, Fig Leaf designed and authored the course material itself, making in-depth discussion possible since the instructor was extremely well versed in the rationale behind the walk-thrus and labs.

I highly recommend this ColdFusion course from Fig Leaf training for any product support engineer or web developer at any skill level.

I'd also like to take a moment to plug Fig Leaf's new one-day course on AJAX and ColdFusion using the Adobe Spry Framework, at a very reasonable price of $495. I'd love to schedule this course sometime soon.

I wish we had more Computer Based Coldfusion Training... I appear to be on the wrong side of the Mississippi for instructor-lead classes (California really IS on the same planet, despite what some people say) I'm hoping Adobe with come out with a Total Training series for Coldfusion... that is the dream that sustains me...


Michael,

You should evaluate the video (screencapture + audio) training on CFMX from Lynda.com or VTC:

You might also want to check out Javapassion.com for ** FREE ** online Java and J2EE training from Sang Shin, a Sun Microsystems Instructor. I just finished a JSP/Servlet class at Boston University where Sang taught the class in person, and I can vouch for his excellent technical and communication skills. See:
http://www.talkingtree.com/blog/index.cfm/2006/5/2...

Regarding Total Training, they are an independent company, not a division of Adobe, so its really up to them to determine course material. You should call them to let them know what training you'd like see from them.


the Lynda.com stuff looks too basic and it doesn't cover CFCs. I have the VTC intermediate training and that was pretty good. It does cover some cfc stuff and I learned something from it but I couldn't get into the whole "Where's Tom" project after a certain point. Since I've been working with cfcs for over a year now I may revisit the VTC course (that's the cool thing about computer-based training.)
