Diary entry - 5th August 2004
Training at our Melksham training centre - day 2 of 2 of an Apache Tomcat course.
I always get a feeling of achievement as I train - the extracting of the vital information on a subject from the huge flood that's available, and the presentation of that information in a way that's suitable for the trainees. We publish a running order for the public courses such as today's ... and yet (with the agreement of all the trainees) we can go off topic - adding in subjects not usually covered, and skipping over topics that aren't relevant to anyone in the particular group.
Perhaps today's course was the most varied from the regular. I have a huge respect for people who have the guts to attend a course in a language which is not their native tongue - but where their understanding of English is only patchy, it's twice the work for me and more importantly it can disrupt the rest of the class. And I really wonder what such trainees gain, or if they're wasting their money. Yet ... I look back at today and I say that xxxxxx left us knowing a lot more about Apache httpd and Tomcat than when he arrived. He had configured up both of the servers and installed web applications, unpacking .war files and making adjustments. And he's bright enough to pick up other topics later now that he has the broad brushstrokes in place. Successful course, me thinks. (written 2004-08-05 20:19:41)
