- FNZ Holidings Limited
SpecFlow: Implementing BDD for .NET Course
The Practical side of the course - the whole point of an instructor is to have someone to call on when difficulties are encountered. Definitions of Scrum and Product Owners etc. can be studied without the need for an instructor. But using Visual Studio, getting Specflow up and running and using it right - these are the elements of training that require an instructor. These practical hand-on exercises are the elements I liked the most. I would have liked more of this.

Robert Badeloe
IIS 7 and ASP.NET Administration Course
I appreciated Fulvio's wide breadth of knowledge. Not only was he familiar with the course content, but he also knew of constructs in languages we were familiar with to make examples more meaningful to us. During intervals he shared his knowledge of technologies and solutions outside the training scope to provide insights into other solutions we could use in future (and future training).
