A Perforce-credentialed consultant and trainer, Jeff has been a build / release engineer since the mid-90's, and a Unix developer and Tech Support engineer in prior lives in the 80's. He knows the needs of real engineers, and uses tools like Perforce to make life easier for the folks toiling over a hot monitor.

Jeff teaches the Perforce three-day class at your company, and presents the same content as the public Perforce classes. (He has taught several of those classes for Perforce, and can recommend several sandwich shops to students who come to San Francisco!)

The on-site class is a terrific value: the content (slides, exercises) are the same as the public classes (Jeff's taught several of those for Perforce, but there is an economy by training entire departments or groups of employees.

Also...

If the class wants to spend a little more time discussing topic X, because it is turning into an inpromptu software architecture meeting about source code organization or release planning, you have a Perforce Consulting Partner and Certified Trainer in the room for immediate answers.

The standard class is three days, concentrating on either command-line or Windows GUI usage. (This refers to which slides and hard-copy are provided; both interfaces can be used in the class.)

Has had exposure to other SCMs such as ClearCase, RCS/SCCS and SourceSafe, but prefers to convert projects from other systems to Perforce, not the other way around!
