A Great Way To e-Learn

I'm often asked by Borland Developer Network members, questions like the following: "What's the best way to learn programming?" "How can I get up to speed with web development?" "What's the easiest way to learn about EJB?" "What are Web Services and how can I take advantage of this new way to program the Internet?" The questions can take many forms. They all result in the same basic question - what is a great way to learn about programming and Borland products?

One great way is to use the Borland e-Learning Series of interactive multimedia training courses. These CD based, interactive, self-paced training courses are available from Borland. Borland, Referentia Systems, and several Borland Learning Partners have worked together to bring you these innovative courses that will help you get up to speed using our products and leading edge technologies.

Books

I love a good book, especially if it's a programming book. Okay, sometimes I read high-tech spy thrillers and science fiction. But for me, there's nothing like a good technical book. There are many books about Borland products. You'll find a reading list (by product) on the Borland Developer Network site. We're still populating the list. If you have favorite books that are not listed, please send me an email - davidi@borland.com.
