BELGIUM: JavaBlackBelt has announced immediate availability across the EU, the U.S., and India of its "Java & OO Fundamentals" and "Java Advanced" Coached eLearning courses.

Coached eLearning combines Java coaching and eLearning to deliver the fastest and most cost-effective way to gain Java skills. In a recent survey of members of the JavaBlackBelt community, developers selected Coached eLearning as the #1 choice for Java learning compared with instructor-led classroom training and self-paced eLearning.

Highlights of that survey include:

* When asked which learning method was preferred by developers and managers, respondents selected Coached eLearning over self-paced eLearning and instructor-led classroom training by 4:3 and 4:1 margins respectively.

* The top reasons for preferring Coached eLearning over instructor-led classroom training were: "It does not require travel", "It fits into my schedule", "It's more affordable", and "I can proceed at my own pace" selected by about 70, 70, 60, and 50 percent of the group, respectively, with this preference.

* The top reasons for preferring Coached eLearning over self-paced eLearning were: "I would retain the learning better", "An instructor would help me overcome learning obstacles", "I would prefer the schedule and rigor provided by an instructor" selected by about 60, 60, and 50 percent, respectively, of this group.

Java & OO Fundamentals is the entry point for learning Java and covers all content and skills in Java SE and OO that Java developers must master to thrive in a typical professional project.

The course requires that the student be a computer programmer but no OO knowledge or experience is assumed. Topics include Java Environment, Language Basics, Objects and Classes, Associations, Exceptions, Standard Libraries, Polymorphisms, and Collections. Also, the course prepares the student for all other Java Coached eLearning courses, including JPA/Hibernate, Spring and Java Advanced.
