These classes take place in New York City in the financial district. I don't have any reports from students who've taken these courses, but word of mouth must not be very good since Advanced Web Technologies has to resort to spamdexing to attract clients.

Bruce Eckel is a well-respected teacher and writer with years of experience and object-oriented programming. He teaches a single course in Java, a five-day introduction to Java for programmers. The course is taught in San Francisco. I can make a few quibbles about his course-It seems a little too influenced by C++ and having to bring your own computer is annoying-however these are minor points. I suspect this is one of the better Java courses available.

People who took the first iteration of Basic Java Programming hated it. The general feeling was that the material covered could have easily been completed in half a day or less. Even those students who had never programmed before felt this course was at far too low a level. The students were invited back to take the advanced course at no charge. Later reports have been somewhat more positive.
Sun has recently announced some one-day Developer Camps. Sun says these are geared toward techies, not designers or salespeople; but a lot of time is spent on white paper style propaganda and not much on advanced Java topics. According to Sun propaganda after taking this course you will be able to:
The course itself is a leisurely one-day examination of:

SunTest will be offering a series of Java testing courses starting in November 1996. The first course will be held at UC Irvine on November 11. For more information about SunTest's courses and schedules please contact suntest-info@suntest.com. Sun Microsystems and UC Irvine's Irvine Research Unit in Software (IRUS) are running a new course aimed at the unique testing needs of Java applications and Java applets. The first two and half day course on Java testing is designed for an audience with a working knowledge of a language such as C, C++, or Ada, and a reasonable knowledge of object oriented programming. The course will provide a general introduction to the Java programming language and then focus on various aspects of testing Java applications and applets.
This course will be taught by Dr. Sriram Sankar and there will be short guest lectures by Prof. Richard Taylor, Prof. Debra Richardson, and Prof. David Rosenblum, all professors at the University of California Irvine.
Time spent in classroom instruction and in hands-on laboratory exercises will be split approximately 50/50. Attendees will build a simple Java application (and its corresponding applet for use with web browsers) to be tested, or may bring their own code. Attendees will practice developing tests using three SunTest tools:
