Eclipse Video Courseware February, 2004

Enclosed, you’ll find a copy of the Eclipse Video Courseware.

This course is taught as a two day seminar, and incorporates installation of the Eclipse Platform Java Development Tools and the CodeRally package, for which you’ll develop some samples plug-in tools for Eclipse. The courseware is created as part of the Open Source “ECESIS” project which is hosted by Eclipse.

The course guides and presentation material are available from: ECESIS Downloads

The Eclipse Platform is available from: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index.php

The CodeRally Package is available from: http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/coderally

This courseware was written by the presenter (Dwight Deugo at Espirity, Inc.) and was produced on video by Communications and Media Arts, Wake Forest, North Carolina. We have made this nine-lesson set of courseware available under the EPL Open Source license, which allow you to use it royalty-free. Please incorporate these materials into your own offerings and help spread Eclipse platform skills worldwide.
