Yup, that could be you. On your boat, cruising past Saba Rock in the British Virgin Islands, learning Eclipse RCP or Equinox/OSGi.

Twice a year the Eclipse Foundation runs the Eclipse Training Series and the Spring ’10 sessions were announced earlier today. The series has always been a great opportunity for the community to learn more about the technologies they are (or should be) using.

This year EclipseSource is very pleased to announce that we are offering a number of courses in a “virtual classroom” format. Over the past few months we have tried out this idea and found that it has worked quite well.  The courses are run largely in the same sequence as in-person classes using the same materials but using screen sharing and web conferencing facilities. Despite the lack of personal contact, participants report a solid learning experience and very much appreciate not having to travel.

We are also expanding our virtual offerings into our RAP, p2 and PDE build courses. Of course, we continue to provied in-person classes. Check out the full Eclipse training lineup.

• Eclipse RCP Development (4 Days)
• Eclipse RCP Advanced Topics (3 Days)
• OSGi and Equinox (3 Days)
• OSGi and Equinox Primer (1 Day)
• RAP for Java Developers (4 Days)
• RAP for RCP Developers (2 Days)

We have also added two new courses to cover two popular topics, Equinox p2 and migrating to Galileo RCP:

• Provisioning Eclipse and OSGi systems with p2 (2 days)
• Migrating to Galileo RCP (2 days)

We are also offering our courses online now. If you’re interested in any of these courses, please email us.
