Customized Onsite Training/Consulting in .NET  

Here's why you should consider my training/consulting services for your .NET team:

  • I've been teaching/consulting since 1990:
    • with .NET since 2001
    • with .NET 2.0/C# 2.0 since 2004
    • with .NET 3.0 since 2006
    • with .NET 3.5/C# 3.5 since 2007
  • As a member of the C# Customer Council at Microsoft, and a C# MVP, I can provide you with a unique, insider's view of how .NET works.
  • As an independent consultant, I'm not constrained to give you Microsoft's official, politically-correct view of Windows, .NET, etc.
  • My first and foremost focus is: how do I get what I know into the minds of your team members?
    • My job is NOT to show you how smart I am.
    • My job is to help your team members obtain, integrate and apply my knowledge.
  • I can customize the content of any of my courses to fit your team's needs.
  • I can scale my course presentations to fit the breadth and depth of your diverse team's experience.
  • I eschew theory in favor of practical application and Best Practices.
  • I create my own course materials that rival even the best books or course materials on the subjects covered.
    • My course labs are often kept for reference materials long after a course has ended.
  • My course materials are based on real experiences in the field and not theorectical hysteria.

Let me show you how cost-effective customized, premium training can be: they'll learn more in 3-5 days with me than they will with 12 months of books, videos, online resources and 4 weeks of Certification Courses combined.

I'll work with you to construct a curriculum that will fit the needs of your team, to be hosted in the convenience of your own offices -- or, we'll arrange an appropriate venue conveniently nearby. Please contact me to discuss costs, timeframes, content, setup and other details by email or phone.

Commentary  

Regarding LINQ 2008 BootCamp

"Richard was like a machine: he never got tired and was always willing to stay late. I learned a lot. The labs were very useful and well crafted (and sometimes funny). Richard is very skilled, and is happy to answer everyone\'s questions (and not just with an short answer but with a detailed explanation where possible). He also shaped the course to the student\'s needs."
