Java Passion provides an 18-week AJAX online course for free. I’m not sure if the guy responsible for this was the same guy I saw a couple of years ago in Waterfront Cebu – when I was attending a seminar/conference. He was discussing Java + AJAX along with other Java advocates.
Here is the outline of the course:
In general, the contents (presentation, hands-on labs, and homework’s) will be ready on the dates specified below. Due to the fast pacing nature of the Ajax technology, the contents are constantly being changed and improved even after the dates specified.
