In 2000/01 when Java and J2EE were emerging technologies, Sun Microsystems had a collection of talks and tutorials from various technology evangelists working for Sun at that time. I felt that the talks (mp3 files) were a great resource at that time. I used to download the mp3 files, burn them into audio CD's and play them in my car when I commuted to and from work. One of the evangelists was Sang Shin. I did listen to his talks on J2EE, JSP's, Java Servlets, Webservices and SOAP. I still remember his talk on SOAP, Sang Shin took on Microsoft and other W3 partners for not involving Sun Microsystems in some of the decision making and finalizing SOAP specifications. I was really impressed with his knowledge at that time.
Now, when I was going through some sun blogs and got to www.javapassion.com where I found a treasure of AJAX resources by Sang Shin. Here you can not only see his passion for AJAX, but also find FREE on-line AJAX courses. The 18-week free AJAX Programming (with Passion!) Online Course is yet to start from October 15th. You can find videos, audio files, pdf's and download labs. For those who are planning to play with AJAX or looking for any assistance this website is a good start.
