The Best Struts Course (Covers Struts 1.1)
WorkShop Overview
Created by Rick Hightower coauthor of Wiley Publishing�s new Professional Jakarta Struts, Second Edition under the Wrox imprint . After completing this course you will have the skills to design and build Struts-based web applications.
Length
3 Days
Skill Level
Intermediate to Advanced
Student's Prior Experience
Devlopers should have prior JSP and Servlets experience.
Please compare
Please compare this course to our competitors Struts Training. You will find that many of the so-called Struts courses are really just JSP/Servlets courses with a few Struts lessons bolted on the end. Other courses use Struts 1.0. No course covers the Tiles framework in the depth that this course covers it. Tiles is a powerful framework that can really simplify the development of layouts and visual components. The same can be said for our coverage of the Validator framework--top notch!
Our instructors have real world experience with Struts and J2EE, and can provide the "been there done that" knowledge missing from many IT training-company trainers. Our trainers are technology experts with people skills. Get Struts training from the experts.
Course Abstract
Struts is a light weight Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework that builds on top of Servlet and JSPs embracing J2EE web development. The course consists of 65% labs and 35% lecture.
