Professional Training Courses in Italy
During the years I spent in Italy, I designed and delivered, as an independent professional, a large number of courses for companies and institutions. Most of them were offered through my collaborations with Datamat, but there were also distinct clients, such as Olivetti Ricerca in Bari, CNR, Systech, Dataspazio, and Sincro Consulting. The courses were adapted to clearly defined professional roles—from programmers at the beginning of their careers to analysts, software architects, and project managers— and covered programming itself, UML modelling, distributed architectures, J2EE technologies, Web services, SOA, software engineering, and project management.

Framework documents
Before the courses themselves, I have preserved here the offer documents and the training-path schemes. They explain the overall logic of the offer: the professional roles addressed, the progression paths, and the relationships among the courses.
Programming
Introduzione alla programmazione con Java. Corso base
The basic course for programmers who needed to acquire an effective command of the Java language after the introductory stage. Extensions toward advanced Java, distributed programming, and Web services were subsequently organized around this course. The introductory course is intended for those at the beginning of their Java learning path. It covers language features, programming fundamentals, elements of object-oriented programming, classes and objects, inheritance, polymorphism, interfaces, arrays, type conversions, graphical user interfaces, events, exceptions, and input/output.
Client: Datamat (probably)
