[training-working-group] Survey Results Summary Notes

Team,
These were some quick notes I made running through the training results. Don't know if you'll find them handy.

Also please allow for "interpreter's margin of error" when looking at them.

----------------------------
Eclipse Training Survey Results

* Software developers, that make decisions and tools are the target (or the only ones that responded)

* Small teams (possible targetted training groups?)

* Approx 1/2 use as IDE, 1/2 use as a platform
  * Also interested in training on both

* More server work than RCP

* Seems like a lot of these folks haven't done formal training (self-learners?)
  * Neutral about training
  * Haven't participated
  * More than 1/2 have used an online tutorial

* Majority preference for electronic or printed material

* Languages are client and server Java, dominated
  * Wanted training with WTP

* RCP/Plugin dev most important to folks wanting to learn (Also wanted training on this)
  * SWT
  * AJAX

* Company would pay for multi-day session training as needed, but up to developer to ask for it

* Certification training could be important

* Alot of folks didn't know about training on eclipse.org, mostly use Google to learn more

* Want the OS community of Eclipse Foundation to train them

Best,
Riyad
