Dave is one of the best instructor's I have had in a class. Although many of the students had minimal experience with the C++ language. He was able to demonstrate/teach the class objectives in a way that we all were able to learn. We left the class feeling comfortable, if not proficient with C++ Builder. This was particularly rewarding for those students who had never used C++ Builder prior to the class.
This was an excellent class that will assist me in future projects.

I enjoyed the instructor. He was very knowledgeable and presented the subject matter in a format which was both easy to learn and enjoyable.
