Java itself if a programming language. But it's more than than because Java programs run in a "virtual machine" with which a whole load of other add-ons ("technologies") are associated.

At Well House Consultants, we have run a variety of public Java courses from as early as 1996, and a wide range of private courses. We currently offer the following public course:

• Learning to Program in Java for newcomers to programming with no (or little) prior programming experience. Java has a wide variety of applications, and this course is tailored towards delegates who will be writing and maintaining code for web site use.

• Java Bootcamp for experienced programmers who are converting to Java. This course is tailored towards delegates who will be maintaining and writing server side code (JSPs and Servlets) rather than using Java for Applets or programmable devices.

• Deploying Apache httpd and Tomcat course - 2 days - which overs the installation, setup and integration of these two servers through various connectors. This course is ideal for system administrators who'll be looking after systems running Java applications (servlets or JSPs) under Tomcat.

If you have a group of delegates who require Java training, we can offer a wider variety private courses based on the following agendae above, or on Java Programming for the Web which adds in depth server side programming (servlets, JSPs, interfacing to databases etc) to the content.

For groups of Administrators who are NOT familiar with Linux but will be deploying Java applications under that operating system, we also offer a combined private Deploying Java applications on Linux and Unix program.

Our basic Java training notes are available for free download if you would like to follow these courses in your own time

Java is written and maintained by Sun Microsystems, and is now Open Source. Tomcat and httpd are also Open Source projects which are maintained and downloaded via the Apache Software Foundation.
