Three InfoQ Online Certified Programs are now open for enrollment:
Each program meets for four hours a week over five weeks, plus a few hours of homework, in a small cohort of senior engineers and software architects. Every week, you apply a framework from a QCon talk to a decision you're already making at work, and share what worked and what didn't with the group.
See the syllabus for each online program.
