One aspect of providing excellent training is offering a variety of training alternatives, from lecture/lab to technical seminars to course licensing. We are pleased to introduce new additions to today's training alternatives -- Self-Paced Training courses. Sun's new Self-Paced Training Courses offer maximum flexibility to meet your training needs. Learn in your own work environment and at your own pace with Sun's video-based and text-based courseware. Sun's Self-Paced Training Courses are highly interactive to stimulate skill-based learning. The courseware also provides excellent reference material for quick and easy review or independent problem solving on the job. Announcing Two New Courses -------------------------- Sun's Self-Paced Training Courses have actually been available for several months now, but two additional training courses have just been added. The two new courses were developed by Hands-On Learning Corporation and are offered by Sun, as a part of Sun's Self-Paced Learning Series of training courses. These video-based courses are organized into modules with checkpoints to review the lesson and complete the accompanying workbook and worktape exercises. The first new course is the SL-141 All-Hands-On C Video Workshop. It is a modular training course in the C language for both novice and experienced programmers. This self-paced video course provides a blend of creative instruction and practical experience in C programming. The course covers such topics as operators and expressions; arrays, strings, and I/O; statements and control flow; functions and variables; and pointers and structures. The C course offers practical programming experience using the included example programs. Upon completion of this workshop, students will be able to write well-structured, efficient programs in standard C. The second new course is the EU-100 All-Hands-On Unix Video Workshop. It is a comprehensive video training package that teaches any version of the Unix operating system. It provides an introduction to Unix and continues through programming and compiling. Topics include using the Unix file structure, the vi editor, advanced file processing, environmental protection, C and Bourne shell programming, and compiling. This course offers an excellent self-paced introduction to new Unix users, as well as a handy refresher for current Unix users.
