New Course on Web Development Platforms
15-Sep-2009 --
As you may know, we've slowly and steadily been adding to our list of online education courses over the past year or so. I'm pleased to announce that yesterday, we added yet another course, on Web Development Platforms.
No, it's not a developer's course. This overview of Java EE, .NET, LAMP, and Ruby on Rails is meant to give just enough of a technical insight into the various languages and frameworks to allow you to come to your own conclusions as to the business value of each, in the context of a given type of project.
Each Web app development platform has its strengths and weaknesses. Which one is likely to deliver the best ROI for a particular use case? Where are these technologies now, on their various roadmaps, and where are they headed? Which ones have underdelivered on their promises (and what were those promises, anyway)? The list of issues goes on and on. For about six modules, and four hours.
If you think someone in your organization might benefit from this sort of course, please pass the word. There's a PDF factsheet here.
