Today was the first day of Dev2 Training for ATG. While the class members were the same, we had a different instructor. This course is quite streamlined: we were supposed to cover 4 or 5 chapters today, and three tomorrow. The instructor started us off with a review of DEV1. Initially I thought that this would be catered towards groups that had taken DEV1 some time prior, but as it turned out, we all realized there was plenty that had not yet sunk it!
It was very interesting to have a different instructor; he explained things differently and I really felt that aided us all in seeing the concepts in a different way. It was evident that he has been instructing the information for quite awhile, as he was very careful to ensure we were all aware of the rationale for each lecture, each exercice. Although we only plodded through three chapters today (slower than the instructor’s anticipation, and much slower than we went through the material last week), I believe the entire class felt like we had an overall better sense of what we were learning.
Some of what we looked at today was related to User, Roles and Organizations, and mapping many:many relationships. These are not everyday dev tasks, but I’m glad to get a chance to familiarize myself with these aspects of the system.
