Finally we managed to take some photos of the Telerik Academy (http://academy.telerik.com) where I constantly train young software engineers in computer programming, .NET Framework technology stack and team working:
Currently I have a group of 20 students who successfully passed in 2 months the “C# Fundamentals” courses (Part 1 and 2) and passed all required exams. Currently I teach them in .NET Framework Essentails course which takes 3 months (4-8 hours/day) and covers the .NET Framework class libraries, XML, databases and SQL, LINQ, LINQ-to-SQL and SQL Server, Web services and WCF, design patterns, software engineering, SCRUM, unit testing, source control systems and build systems. The course introduces briefly desktop applications and Windows Forms, Web technologies and Web development with ASP.NET and AJAX, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Silverlight.
It is really nice to explain the programming concepts and best practices to highly motivated students eager to learn more and more.
Telerik Academy have excellent training lab equipped with 20 machines and we are happy to keep it full of smart young people.

Today we did the final test for the students as part of the requirements to graduate the “High-Quality Programming Code” course (http://codecourse.telerik.com) in Sofia University, at the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics (FMI). There were about 130 students in two groups and I am happy of their high achievements. Most of the students answered correctly to more than 85% of the questions.
The exam results are published at the Web site of Telerik Academy in the section “University Courses”, at the “High-Quality Programming Code” course’s official site (http://codecourse.telerik.com).
