An instructor who spends his time developing RCP applications and brings his real world experiences into the classroom.
Currently the following Eclipse RCP courses are offered:
RCP 3 Quickstart – Learn how to leverage the full functionality of RCP 3. This “legacy” framework is still very much alive and is the way to go if you plan on utilizing aspects of the Eclipse Platform not supported by RCP 4. (3 days).
RCP 4 Quickstart – Learn how to utilize the latest version of RCP, including the new application model, dependency injection, CSS styling and all the rest. (3 days)
Advanced RCP 3 – Go beyond the basics to learn about architectural and design issues, best practices, building, provisioning and much more. (3 days)
Advanced RCP 4 – Similar to the Advanced RCP 3 course, except that the RCP 3 specific elements have been removed. (2 days).
Note that advanced sessions can be added to the 3-day RCP Quickstart course to create customized 4 or 5-day courses.
It’s easy to get started. Check the sidebar on the right for upcoming public courses. Or feel free to email me for more information on private training options.


I want to know whether you have any free courses on RCP?
Or any cost effective online training like http://www.JavaPassion.com ?
I am in India.
I’m not aware of any free RCP courses, but there are many free resources you can use to get started.
* Besides my own blog, I would recommend reading the tutorials on Lars Vogel’s website.
* One of the best things you can do is follow the posts aggregated on Planet Eclipse.
* There are many good online presentations at Eclipse Live.
* Many presentations from EclipseCon Europe 2011 are online as well.
Finally, being in India, you should contact ANCiT Consulting They offer RCP training in India and they’re nice guys :-)
I hope you get the RCP training you need, it’s a long road but definitely worth it. And if you ever have any RCP questions along the way, feel free to email me – patrick at modumind dot com.

One word to describe this course. Awesome. I had been toying around with RCP applications and eclipse plugin development for a couple of years before taking this course. Before taking the course I would have classified myself with a fair bit of information but missing the links between things. There were a number of concepts that I understood how to apply but the fact that they worked was really black magic to me. After the course the dots have been connected and my confidence in my abilities to build RCP applications has increased by an order of magnitude.
Patrick’s course is the perfect mixture of theory and practical application. Each lesson builds on the last and uses a unique approach (from my experience) of not providing you all the cut and paste to complete the lab, but rather verbal instructions only — forcing you to recall what you did in the previous segments. For me, this is a critical step in not just doing but understanding what you are doing.
I would highly recommend Patrick’s course to anyone who wants to either fill in some gaps or quickly ramp up on RCP as a technology. In fact, I was so pleased with the experience that I am already looking to see when I can take Patrick’s advanced course.
