How do we differ from others?

Our Lelel 1 courses are basic courses form people who are either new to web programming or new to Asp.Net.

An online course - via live web conference - provided by WebEcutor can be found here: Developing Microsoft ASP.NET Web Applications Using Visual Studio 2008

So they offer 5 day course from 10 AM to 6 PM for $2,345.00 - isn't it time when most people go to work or school? And how does their course differ from our Level 1?

We will cover most of what they are covering - except Silverlight - Flash is still winning in this field, we will skip XML section (there are hundreds of tutorials out there, and by the time you would use it at work you will surely forget everything, I did). And we will stick to LINQ to SQL as the fastest way to connect to a database.

Another course from Ameriteach found here: Course 6463: Two days; Instructor-Led covers our Level 1 course - except their course does not cover LINQ to SQL and we decided not go with mobile devices section - mobile devices are becoming so powerfull that soon they will be able to consume most of the internet applications. And Ameritech offers that course during a week and for $895 - Source - ours is $240

You may ask why the difference? We do not have a fancy office, no CEO, we keep our cost down so our students do not have to pay our overhead cost.

How come our courses take less time than others?

Practical web learning means teachings things that are useful and actually used in the real world.

A good example would be an Asp.Net page life cycle. There are almost a dozen events taking place during a page life cycle (ASP.NET Page Life Cycle Overview) but in our experience in Load events has been used on 95% of the cases, PreRender event in 20%, Init event in 5%. We only had a need to used other events in less than 2% of our work tasks. So why spend time studying something that you almost never use? It is enough to know that they exist and research when a need arise.

Why spending hours studying designing interfaces if in practice you will only be implementing them and only architects/principles will design them and you are not one of them yet.
