MDC USP Training - Day 9(Final)

At last, after 9 days of attending intensive J2EE course, it is finally over. I’m not sure to be happy or not, but definitely I sense relieve in my heart, and at the same time, satisfaction. Relieved that I can finally take this “burden” of going to campus during the holidays for this course, and satisfied because I now know something about J2EE and it’s functionality, how it works etc…etc…

The overall structure of the course was good, although they were some negative feedbacks about the course as well as the trainer. Personally I felt lucky for being among the first batch of MMU students to undergo this training. This pilot project was fully sponsored by MDC, which objective was to make us students competent enough to enter the work market. Dr Yew (I’m unsure of the surname, but that’s what he introduced himself), one of the MDC’s personnel came and deliver his message to us while we were in the lab, and he said that the aim of MDC and this project was to equipped us with the right tools and the in-depth knowledge of the required course to be able to stand out among foreign workers. According to Dr Yew, the industry out there were willing to hired more highly trained and skilled workers from India because of their competency in the field whereas we as Malaysian doesn’t seemed to portray this appearance while we were still studying. I am grateful to MDC for investing in us, the leaders of tomorrow (cheh wah) in terms of course training and also leadership training.

We had a post-J2EE test before we call it a day at 5.07PM, and the questions were similar, if not the same as the actual certification paper. It was challenging, and it covers the entire 9 days course syllabus. Besides that, we also did our very first project using the tools provided under J2EE. We incorporated servlets, JSP, HTML……to come up with a system, and the most challenging part was making it up to 3 tiers, which means that the server sits on one computer, the database server sits on another computer, and the client machine , as you all might have guessed, on another computer. It churned out the knowledge that we had acquired these 9 days, and surprisingly to Mr Leng, my instructor, all 5 groups presented up to 3 tiers, where as the previous 2 batches that he had trained, out of 10 groups only 2 groups managed it. It was an achievement for us trainees, as well as for the trainer, who did his part in mentoring and teaching us the skills needed to deploy a program. Kudos to you, Mr Leng

So this post wrapped up the entire 9 days J2EE certification training course. Before I end, I would like to convey a message of gratitude and thanks to MDC for sponsoring this course, under a pilot project for MMU students, and the skill trainer provided by Info Trek Sdn Bhd, as well as the trainer himself, Mr Leng Chee Kong. Thank You.
