Hybrid MS Windows and Open Source

In addition to WIMP, WAMP, and LAMP, SYS-ED staff and technology partners have been involved with and experiencing a significant increase in scripting with Microsoft PowerShell and open source Korn shell and Perl.

Our staff of system consultants have coded, debugged, and implemented Java and proprietary SDKs on the major web server platforms. Few software or consulting companies have been providing web server courses and training services longer or conducting better than SYS-ED.

Web Server Courseware
SYS-ED's web server courses utilize industry standard textbooks and consultancy derived hand-outs, examples, skeleton programs, workshops and training aids. The collective efforts of our subject matter experts are managed by IT professionals who have multidisciplinary skillsets in information technology, graduate degrees in computer science, management, business administration, and authoring IT text books. The classic principles of adult learning are applied to the content, interpreting and translating subject matter into performance objectives, narrative descriptions, and industry-specific examples. The courseware utilizes a variety of presentation formats - textual, tabular, diagrammatic, hyperlinked summaries, and code snippets - for use in traditional instructor-led classroom and distance- and e-learning formats.

Knowledge Base and Submit Web Server Questions
SYS-ED reviews information in the public domain distributed by software companies, international standards committees, and purveyors of open source software. We perform our own independent analysis and assessments of benchmarks for software updates and new products. Vendor documentation and third party content is interpreted and selectively incorporated into our courseware and training aids. SYS-ED clients are invited to submit web server questions. Our system consultants and technology partners answer, explain, and where applicable reference source documentation. Questions are reviewed and answered on a first-come/first serve-basis. This service is available through our software specific websites: WebSphere, WebLogic, Oracle, IIS, and UNIX - Apache and Tomcat.

Educational Consultancy and Value Added Service
SYS-ED recognizes and differentiates between industry standard content and educational consulting. We review documented coding standards and then have the client select the subject matter, examples, sample programs, and exercises from our courseware library. If necessary, we will create additional courseware and provide skeleton programs. At the client's discretion, assessment validation can be provided. And if available, new classroom technologies can be utilized.

Consultation Prior to Accepting a Training Assignment or Enrolling an Employee in a SYS-ED Course
It is standard operating procedure to schedule a telephone consultation with our Director of Education. For organizations evaluating whether to send an employee to a SYS-ED course, we will require that a profile form be completed and submitted both by the manager and the employee who will be trained. It is our prerogative to ensure that the employee has the prerequisite background for the training. Not everyone is allowed to enroll in a SYS-ED course.
