Several people have wondered about workshop / training course on Java EE 7 development with a modern web architectural focus, in particularly, I know some people have asked for information on building sustainable and adaptive software digitally.

I am announcing a two day training course in London on Monday 6^th and Tuesday 7^th June 2016 course. The content is loosely based on my recent book Digital Java EE 7. Attendance is limited. It runs just before Devoxx UK conference. If you are attending in London, you could be also interested in this workshop / training course. I will know need to the relative attendee number of interested / registered ASAP in order to fire ahead and book the venue please. So please get in touch very soon.

• Java EE Fundamentals Modern digital web architecture
• Inversion of control including CDI Interceptors
• Writing controllers
• Java EE Persistence Transactions
• Remote Endpoints
• Java RESTful Services including JAX-RS
• WebSocket

Cost and Price

The workshop costs £299.99 excluding VAT (United Kingdom 20% tax) per day. This is the introductory offer (NEW LOWER PRICE)! I will need to have at least three delegates to confirm the training course. There are 10 places to secure, first come, first served. Please contact me or register with me on peter (dot) pilgrim (at) gmail (dot) com for further information. You will need to bring your own professional grade workstation laptop. I would strongly suggest the following profile: Microsoft Windows 7 or 10, Apple Mac OS X Yosemite or better; or working modern Linux

Anecdote

The 555 timer was and is an silicon integrated circuit (IC) chip with eight pins. It was popular for beginners, secondary school children and undergraduate students learning about practical electronics in the 1970s and 1980s. Originally invented by Hans Camenzind, in 1971 if was the one of the best loved devices, because it was economical, general and versatile oscillator and a great little electronic timer, built by Texas Instruments. The 555 Timer IC was so great that other manufacturers copied its design, there was a even model produced in the USSR behind the iron-curtain at the height the Cold War.

The timer chip was able to produce sound through an oscillator, transistor amplifier and a small 3″ loudspeaker. The timer acted as a very sensitive a switch through a bistable circuit called a Schmidt Trigger, you build an elementary burglary alarm with a photoelectric resistor. The timer chip could even count button presses one by one and if you wired it up specially through special breadboard you could create your microelectronic “disco” with red LED lights. The 555 IC was fun to experiment with, and it was terrific for electronics novices like me. Once upon I time, I was also a beginner. That is the entire point of the reminiscence and also the price of the workshop/course.

Amazingly, the 555 is s still available, it is still being manufactured in the 21st century, so you can still buy one for about £1.50p from several online electronic stores. The BBC produces a design and technology description of the 555’s internal operations. Go and find your inner electronics dreams!
