199744 832487 4 There were a few errors in the course book. Also, the book chapters were out of sync with the online solution directories provided in some cases. Book is good, but probably due for an update.
199745 844706 3 Few, if any, typos. Some pages within the manual were referenced incorrectly as if copied from an older version.


Question 8: Did the equipment in the classroom provide appropriate learning tools for the class you were attending?

199745 844706 3 I appreciate having my own workstation with ample workspace for my book, notebook, training materials, etc. Sun appears conscious of this need.

199745 844706 4 I'm very pleased with this course. My perl skills are definitely stronger. I feel that this is more of an intermediate course and that there is another level that could be taught but that may be my inexperience showing.


Question 10: Would you recommend this course to others?

199745 844706 5 I wasn't sure if I was ready (my boss thought so). Looking back, I can see that I was prepared.

199745 844706 4 In some classes the labs don't seem applicable beyond the scope of the class. Although there were some examples like that, I feel that even those were a springboard to better examples.

Question 14: How useful do you think the course book will be as a reference guide in your job?

EPCS ID Registration Number Answer Value Comments
199745 844706 5 I always use my course books as reference for a while. I do believe, however, that I will use this one more than most.
199744 832487 5 The book will be an excellent reference for perl and for simple HTML/CGI programming. Would be nice if it were printed larger, though.

Question 16: General Comment section

EPCS ID Registration Number Answer Value Comments
199746 851934 Like to take more Sun training courses in Solaris Sysamdin and expect the course material and instructors are as good as for this course. No comment
199745 844706 I feel as if this were an Intermediate perl course and not an Advanced course. There are real-world applications that I have come across that I don't feel were addressed in this course. Perhaps they are too specific for an entire course? But I do feel more prepared and confident to research them on my own. As I gain more experience with perl and cgi I will be better able to answer how well this course prepared me for my work. No comment
199744 832487 Excellent course. No comment
