Courses? What are they? I've had to learn XML from books, because the University has no money for external courses, and doesn't offer a separate XML course... I could learn it by signing up for a degree, but that seems like overkill :-)
Odd that I've now worked at a University for three years, and for the first time in my career, have gone three years without attending a single course courtesy of my employer! (I guess it's the same reason plumbers have leaky toilets at home).
I frequently find courses could be condensed into an hour from a day; the problem most-times is that pre-requisites are not enforced. When I was teaching software courses, I was forced to take students who had taken none of the previous three modules; my company just wanted the training revenue, and wanted to keep their customer's happy.
Still, at least now I have someone to send my XML questions to... :-)
