A pleasure to train

It's the very first few days back in the new year, and we've found historically that people want a few days in their office to get back into the swing of things before learning anew.
However - things have been busy, and the week got filled with training. It was a real pleasure to be running some more advanced MySQL training yesterday - looking at complex joins and remote access - with security issues such as firewalling, NATS and IP rewrite. Today will be a Java Utility Classes day, and tomorrow it's Tomcat.
Perhaps it's just me ... but it's a real pleasure to train people - to help them learn the strengths of using a web based PHP system v RMI to access remote databases, or to show them a simple solution to an issue and same them hours and days of work. Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed the Christmas break, but it's great to be back.
