BGZ Courses

BGZ specializes in open source Web-related tools. In particular, we work with PHP, Java, XML and XHTML/CSS. Over the years we have held informal seminars related to our work and writing. The success of these prompted us to develop a more formal range of courses. Like our projects, our courses are customised according to the needs of our clients. We will usually teach on your premises, but we can host courses if required.

In teaching and writing, we aim to cover the detail of any topic we tackle, but also to reach beyond that to the principles that underlie the subject.

» The Course List
BGZ training breaks down into four areas, PHP, XML, Java and site development. Individual course details consist of a range of relevant topics from which an appropriate course can be constructed according to your needs and interests.
