I dunno. I took a senior level course in Sept of 2000 that taught
Struts version 0.5. It's helped me get this job, and radically change
the tecnology of my last job! :-)

a read actuall a nice book called Underworld Survival Guide he got's
some nice tip :
FREE EDUCATION
Usually when you ask somebody in college why they are there, they'll
tell you it's to get an education. The truth of it is, they are there to get
the degree so that they can get ahead in the rat race. Too many college
radicals are two-timing punks. The only reason you should be in college is
to destroy it. If there is stuff that you want to learn though, there is a
way to get a college education absolutely free. Simply send away for the
schedule of courses at the college of your choice. Make up the schedule you
want and audit the classes. In smaller classes this might be a problem, but
even then, if, the teacher is worth anything at all, he'll let you stay. In
large classes, no one will ever object.If you need books for a course, write
to the publisher claiming you are a lecturer at some school and considering
using their book in your course. They will always send you free books.There
are Free Universities springing up all over our new Nation. Anybody can
teach any course. People sign up for the courses and sometimes pay a token
registration fee. This money is used to publish a catalogue and pay the
rent. If you're on welfare you don't have to pay. You can take as many or as
few courses as you want. Classes are held everywhere: in the instructor's
house, in the park, on the beach, at one of the student's houses or in
liberated buildings. Free Universities offer courses ranging from Astrology
to the Use of Firearms. The teaching is usually of excellent quality and
you'll learn in a community-type atmosphere.
