How It Works

Once you become a member of JJUG, you are entitled to enrollment in specific Java courses.   Currently the 'Java for Beginners', 'Advanced Java' and 'JSP' courses are being offered.  At the completion of the JSP course, you can enroll in the Advanced JSP course (to be offered) that includes real-world projects using the latest 'hot' topics of JSP, such as Custom Tags, Tag libraries, JSTL and Struts.  In effect, you get valuable real-world experience in JSP, so at the end of the course, you can be fully confident in JSP.

Why learn Java?
Java has become extremely popular in recent years for developing professional database-driven web pages for corporations and also for web-based software aimed at the "Business-to-Business (B2B)" sector.   'Java Server Pages' (JSP), which provide a convenient way of including server-side Java code into web pages help create corporate-class, database-driven web-based applications.   By using JSP, one can fully exploit the power of Java programming on the server side, and can accommodate complex business rules and requirements.   One of the major objectives of membership in JJUG is to learn this cutting-edge technology of JSP.   JJUG aims to address this critical need, of producing world-class developers who know how to use Java's enormous power to develop professional quality web-based applications.   Even during the current economic slowdown, Java developers continue to demand one of the highest salaries and Java remains # 1 among high-tech jobs.

Why learn from JJUG?
When you learn Java from JJUG, you can rest assured that you are getting world-class, real-world training.   The author-cum-instructor of these courses worked as an Adjunct Professor in the University of Maryland system and also as a full-time Java developer for almost a decade in the USA.   So you get the best of both worlds - academia and corporate.   You get to use the latest tools and get immediate feedback on your work on a daily basis, so you know you can get help when you need it most.   You participate in regular discussions and conferences with the instructor and also with fellow members.  Dr. Metlapalli will be personally grading your assignments so you know your work is getting personal attention from a professional.

Many training schools charge exhorbitant rates, for sub-standard courses, and many times your work is either not personally graded (all feedback is automated), or it's graded by some student working part-time.   Think about it -- here you get top-quality training for a low price and don't even need to purchase any textbooks or software!

You may be tempted to ask: where is the catch?   How does Javaonline.org offer courses at such down-to-earth prices whereas others charge huge amounts?   The answer is quite simple - other institutions employ scores or hundreds of paid employees and have expensive advertising, so when you pay their high rates, you are actually paying for salaries of those many employees and for their advertising.

Javaonline.org, in contrast, is a ONE-MAN show - Dr. Metlapalli manages the whole show, right from designing the web site, database, writing the course content, programming for the web pages, maintaining them, and finally grading your assignments and managing online course discussion areas.  Since there is no one else involved, Javaonline.org is able to offer top quality training at a fraction of the cost!
