Hi,

One of the things on my TODO list is to put together some Tomcat
training material licensed under the Apache License (version 2). i.e.
material that would be made freely available for folks to use.

I'd also like to make the training material available on YouTube as well
as run some training courses (for a small fee) to deliver the material
face to face.

The structure I have in mind is a series of modules (say 30 mins in
length) that can be organised in different ways to suit different needs.
e.g. put the introductory modules for each area together to provide an
'Introduction to Tomcat course', put all the TLS modules together to
provide an in depth 'Tomcat and TLS' course etc.

I think a lot of the raw content is already available. We have the
various Tomcat presentations that have been given over the years and my
employer has agreed to let me make use of the material from our (now
possibly a little dated) Tomcat training courses.

I can't do this alone. Not in any reasonable time frame anyway. So I am
reaching out to the community for help.

The first step is to come with:
- a list of modules
- potential courses formed from combinations of modules

I am asking for your ideas for modules, courses and combinations of
modules that could make up those courses.

We have a blank wiki page to host this:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TOMCAT/Tomcat+Training+Course

Feel free to ask for edit access to that page (you'll need to create an
account and let us know the user name) so you can add ideas directly or
add ideas to this thread and I'll add them to the wiki page.

The second step is to start populating the modules with actual content.
As a motivator to get this done, I'd like to run a public Tomcat
training course in late March / early April using this material. My
current thinking is that the course would cost ~£100 plus food per
person for the full day. Possible locations for this course are:
- Cardiff
- Birmingham
- Manchester
- Glasgow
(all in the UK - if successful we can expand to mainland Europe and beyond)

My second request is for feedback on which location(s) are preferable
and what content would you like to see in the training course. I'll take
this feedback, put together a course and then make it available to book.

I look forward to all your ideas.

Mark
