Here are some things that students have said over the years about the courses Stephen has developed.

 Back to Course Description

This class was easily *THE* most useful programming class I've ever taken. - No ... check that... It was easily the most useful class, of ANY topic, that I've ever taken. - Programmer/Analyst - Entertainment Company

The course taught by Stephen is arguably the best short technical course I've attended in 20 years of involvement in the computer industry. - Product Manager - Major Computer Manufacturer.

There are a lot of people out there who think they understand OO but don't. I almost didn't take this course (10 years in OO) but I am very glad I did. - System Designer - Telecommunications Company

The course is well designed, well thought out, executed to perfection. Examples were well thought out and therefore very revealing. - Technical Support - Software Vendor.

Because of this course, I feel I will be a much better team leader. - Project Manager - Criminal Justice IS Dept.

I will recommend this course as our OOA&D standard. This is the 3rd OOA&D course I have attended, and I believe it's the best. Good job. - Sr. Programmer/Analyst - Tire Manufacturer.

One of the best courses I've ever taken - and I've taken (and taught) a lot! - Systems Analyst - Government IS Dept.

I have attended two other OO Analysis & Design courses, but they do not demonstrate or teach the "How to do analysis" as well as this course. The walk-through of the case study is very useful - System Analyst - Oil Company

The course is a must for anyone responsible for the architecture and design of an OO application. - Consultant - Systems Integrator

I could have used this course earlier in my project to clear some things up. Great course overall! - System Integrator - Oil Company.

Very informative; very interesting and very educational. I have designed OO systems some and this clarified a lot of concepts for me and I realized some past mistakes. - Systems Analyst - Movie Studio/Entertainment Company

A good course! I like how this course relates to real life examples including how and what we should be doing when developing applications. - Systems Analyst - Petroleum Company

Excellent course! I'll recommend it without thinking twice. Great exercises with continuity between them. - Programmer/Analyst - Systems Integrator

The stories and examples made the course. It's easy to see where others went wrong. More people need this training! - Programmer/Analyst - Systems Integrator.

Should be recommended for developers as well as designers. It shows why you should do things a certain way. Very useful. - Consultant - Software Vendor.

Overall the course was great. I learned a bunch of good information and I'm not entirely new to the object paradigm. The instructor was great. Thanks for the best training course I've ever taken. - Lead Analyst - State Government agency

Very neat and tight course that was understandable and interesting. - Manager - Entertainment Company.

Excellent for both OO experts and novices - Developer - Telecommunications Company

I wish all of our co-workers could have taken this class. I got a lot out of the interactive case study exercises. - Programmer/Analyst- Systems Integrator.

The curriculum and the instructor's ability together make this one of the best courses I've ever taken. - Consultant - Software Vendor.

A tremendous amount of material presented extremely well - Programmer/Analyst - Aerospace Company

I am very glad I took this course - I had many "ah-ha's". - Project Manager - Software Vendor.

The third OOA&D class I have attended and by far the most complete. - Manager, Application Development - Tire Manufacturer

I highly recommend this course to other developers and analysts. - Programmer/Analyst - Grower (agriculture)

A very good course to get the big OO picture. - Consultant - Systems Integrator

Very informative and makes OO technology very easy to understand. Very enjoyable. - Programmer/Analyst - Software Vendor.
