I offered my first course in India this past week. It was a five day course on Agile
Software
Development Pracitces. I have offered course in Europe, Canada, and US, but never
had a
chance to offer in India until now (except for a short seminar I gave a few years
back, but that
doesn?t count).
The attendees were great?there was very good interaction in the class. One advantage
I had with
this group was that I am familar with their application domain, so it made the examples
more
interesting and appropriate, especially in discussing design principles.
Most of this week, to be honest, I did not realize that I am in India. The technical
discussions,
follow up questions, participation in the lab work, the attendees made me totally
forget where I
am.
One thing that clearly reminded me that I am in India is food. Unbeleivable. I think
I will be putting
on some weight before I return. No guilt, I am going to enjoy it.
I am looking forward to my exclusive .NET 2.0 course next week, also in Hyderabad,
but for a
different client.
