Hello fellow-struts-ers, I have been toying with the notion of hosting a struts training, but I'm not convinced that it is a good business move for me. I am wondering about a few things and figured who better to ask than the community... Questions / Discussion Topics -
1.) I'm in Ohio, US, so naturally this is where I would want to host it, but I'm not sure if there would be enough interest to get people to actually fly here. I have been working out of Dayton which has a large airport and plenty of hotels (that I could probably work out a deal on a discount), is that enough or is there another area (SF, NY) where I might be better off traveling myself to host something. 2.) What topics would you guys pay to learn? I think there are a few what I would call basic struts2 trainings available I've seen... If I (as one of the committers) were to host a training, would basic be okay, or would you guys want something more advanced? If so, what sort of topics would you guys want to see? 3.) How should I advertise something like this? Obviously there are google keywords and an announce list (I think there is an announce list), but I think there are more than a few large-ish companies using Struts 2 or WebWork and I would want to reach into there and I don't think a lot of those users don't participate in the mailing lists, etc. 4.) Training format... I've been to training in classrooms where all I had was a notebook (actual paper, not laptop/notebook) and other trainings in classrooms with PCs. For a Struts training, which would people prefer? Anyhow, I'm invoking the lazy friday and hopefully no one gets too angry about my off-topic spam. -Wes -- Wes Wannemacher Author - Struts 2 In Practice Includes coverage of Struts 2.1, Spring, JPA, JQuery, Sitemesh and more http://www.manning.com/wannemacher --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org
