We are knowledge workers.  Every cent that we spend on increasing our understanding of Java, comes back ten fold.

Up to now, the only practical way you had of attending my concurrency training was to physically come to Crete or to fly me over to your company.

These options still exist.

However, I have created a new way for you that will be unlike anything you have seen.  It is a comprehensive plan that will take you from a normal Java programmer to someone who feels comfortable working with threaded code.

The lectures are all available online.  But you aren't left all by yourself.  Instead, I support you with a private chat room on our JavaSpecialists Slack team.  You can ask questions in the chat room and get to know your fellow students.

The course is being launched tomorrow, Friday the 18th Nov 2016, on Vimeo.

I have priced it at 1/4 of a normal classroom course price.  This buys you the following:

1. 17.5 hours of detailed lectures, presented in a lively, interesting, natural style.  You will find it very hard to turn it off once you start listening.
   
2. Each section is followed by exercises that you can complete.  I have full exercise walk throughs as bonus material.  Complete them all and you can earn a certificate of completion for the course.
   
3. The content can be streamed for 12 months.  So take your time if you like.
   
4. You will be invited to a private chat room on Slack, where you can ask questions and meet your fellow students from all around the world.
   
5. 7-day Money-back guarantee, no questions asked.  The refund process is a bit involved with Vimeo, but you will have my full cooperation.  We've done it once when someone accidentally  purchased the wrong course.

Whilst I believe this is an excellent deal, it is not as good as an in-house course, presented for you and your colleagues at your company by one of our instructors.  That is even better, because you get a more interactive experience and the questions can flow more freely.  Plus you are with your colleagues in one room and can sometimes help each other through the exercises.  Lastly, the instructor can assist with helpful hints when you get stuck.

However, in-house courses are priced at 1/2 of classroom courses (minimum of 10 students though).  So, you get a few advantages with this self-study option:

• You really can choose when to study and if you wish, could spread it out over a month or two.  (However, in my experience you will get the best value for money if you put aside 5 days in a row and go through everything, including exercises.  You can always come back later for revision.)
  
• It is cheaper than the inhouse option.  1/2 price of the 1/2 price in fact :-)  Plus you don't have to pay our travel fees to get to you.
  
• You don't have to find 9 colleagues to do the course with you in order to get the best per-person rate (minimum classes for in-house courses are 10 students)
  
  
• Most importantly, because we are not under time pressure in the online course, I could spend a lot more time going over the material.  In normal courses I am often forced to go quickly through one or two sections if we are running behind.  Plus, if you feel that one section wasn't well explained, just let me know and I'll redo it and upload it again.

If I was going to fork out all this money for an online course, my biggest worry would be: Can I watch this without falling asleep?  17.5 hours is a lot!  Is it a boring monotone?  Does it all sound just a bit too rehearsed?

Well, I have presented this course dozens of times and so it sounds very natural, rather than stiff and rehearsed.  You can see my face (for what it's worth) and I even occasionally smile, tell jokes and silly stories of my consulting adventures.  I don't think you'll find it boring.  If you do, let me know ASAP and we will refund you in full.

OK, now to the price.  A normal course costs $3150.  In-house would be minimum $15750 for 10 students plus our travel.  This online self-study (but with my support in a private IRC-like channel) course comes to just $787.

But there is more good news, if you are quick.  I'm sending this to 30000 of my loyal subscribers, so I'm talking super-quick.

Since I am launching the course tomorrow, Friday 18th November at 8:00 EST (and I'm still busy recording sections, so I better hurry up!), I've opened the course up for pre-purchase.  So you can put down your money and purchase it now already and then start watching tomorrow.  To thank you for that, I'm giving away 50 vouchers for 10% discounts.  These are allocated strictly on a first-come-first-served basis.  Once they're gone, it will go to the normal price (which is still a very good deal BTW).

Here is the code: https://vimeo.com/r/1OaC/VS9yYzBwS3

Once you've signed up for the 10% discount, I have no objection to you sharing that code with your friends and colleagues.  The 10% discount offer is only valid until all 50 vouchers have been used up or the 20th November 2016, whichever comes first.  It is only 50 for 30000 email subscribers, so that's why I'm saying: you snooze, you lose :-)

Thanks so much for your years of loyal support.  You cannot imagine how much I appreciate it.
