The point is to introduce them to newest technologies that are used on real projects and show them the best practices in software engineering.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by this? It's kind of vague.

Ah, yes, sorry for that, I was trying to avoid specifics to keep the discussion focused on having a tech-courses in general.

But to be less vague: the point of such a course would be to give someone that is learning a programming language (for instance Java) a direction. There would be a specific topic (in our case a backend for web application), with specific frameworks and also design patterns explained on specific examples.

The emphasis is on best practices, since there are many outdated articles or tutorials on the web that a self-learner can read, but he will just waste time on those.

Is it a bit clearer?
