Course Reviews
I loved it very much was very clear and very hands on and Mark is extremely knowledgeable and very patient. Would highly recommend any of his courses to friends and colleagues.
Excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Good pace, useful information. John's really good at encouraging participation and discussion - I'll try to emulate.
John was fantastic, he made a topic that could have been very serious and boring as interesting as possible. He used illustrations and analogies to get his point across, he also has a great sense of humour which also helped. Compared with other training vendors I have found DWT to be a cut above in content quality and skilled presenters.
John made the course very enjoyable and he really helped me gather a good understanding of java script considering i had 0 knowledge to begin with. Definitely would recommend him for any of these courses.
