CSLA Training

I lead my first CSLA training session last week. I trained a customer in use of CSLA framework to develop business applications. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire process. I started the preparations a while ago, working on my own PowerPoint presentation, oriented toward training that lasts for about 1 day. This presentation contains major points of discussion and was primarily designed to keep me on track during training. The entire session lasted two days, with first day dedicated entirely to lecture-style CSLA training. Second day was dedicated to developing CSLA classes and getting an entire, albeit small, CSLA based project up and running. After the training I have a firm belief that practical exercises that trainees do on their own with help of the trainer are essential to success of CSLA training, and any technical training in general. In addition to that, I think two days should be the minimum length for CSLA training. Ideally, three days would be better. Then again, this would depend on the number of people in the audience.
I learned a bit about myself as well. More exactly, I became even more aware of how much I enjoy speaking in front of people. I think I am a glutton for attention :-).
