Reviews

The tool provided to practice the course teachings is very functional and easy to use.

They are very good and made sure we had all the appropriate materials for class.

Great class I learned a great deal from the material. There would seem to a large amount that I need to learn about.

Courseware was effective but would like to have some PDF material on BPML and XPATH

Great and very intuitive. Better than the traditional hit the wrong button/lose points.
