Skipped 40 pages on day 3 and by lunch time only had gone through 10 pages. We only got through 50 pages the first day. For example, «This site uses cool jQuery stuff.» He spends 5 minutes looking for it, and then can’t find it, gives up and wastes more time. Even more is when he tries to pull up a reference. We take 45 minutes to do the lab and then he takes another 15 minutes to type out the lab as well and go over it. The labs which should only take about 15 minutes are taking an hour. I think he finally realized that we weren’t the audience for a marketing pitch and finally started the class.

Louis, is creating a game called Sencha Raiders to enter in a contest to win $ 250k, and that they host one of the National Park services websites. And in the first hour, I learned that he was working on apps for the Archdiocese of St. We didn’t start until 30 minutes after the expected start ( 9 AM). I was expecting Jason to be the teacher again however, he was unavailable at the last minute and we had Steve Drucker (the owner of Fig Leaf teach the class).

However, I recently took the Fast Track to jQuery. You never felt like you sitting in the room painfully learning something. The ExtJS I took last October was really great and the instructor (Jason Perry) was very good and the pace of the class was awesome. *Disclaimer: This review is for the instructor not the actual course.* I’ve taken two classes at Fig Leaf Training: Fast Track to jQuery and Fast Track to ExtJS.
