Migrating to Galileo RCP

With every release of Eclipse, we can take advantage of a variety of new functionality and features.  Using course material designed by the RCP project leaders and committers, the people who literally wrote the book on the subject, this course accelerates your adoption and migration to the Galileo release of Eclipse RCP. Our veteran Eclipse developers teach you the key technologies and techniques you need to migrate your RCP applications and plug-ins.

Course participants will be guided through the new features of the RCP Galileo release via hands-on sessions. Keeping a small class format ensures that you'll gain a broad understanding of migrating to the latest version of Eclipse RCP and get plenty of individual support from our experts.
