Back-to-Basics: MultiValue Dictionaries
If you use MultiValue Retrieval in any aspect of your job (end-user or
developer) you need to understand what is happening in your file
dictionaries. During this 6 week session you will learn how to read and
write dictionaries, understand the various dictionary structures and how
they process. We will cover what each line of the dictionary does, how
to convert data and create calculated dictionaries.

Accuterm GUI Development
A webinar based live training class over four sessions providing a
structured set of four formal lessons from the AccuTerm GUI Development
Class Workbook developed by Performant Systems. This workbook is part of
included Class Content as a PDF file. Class Content will also include
Data files containing the BASIC Code and GUI Template files the class
examples represent. The Class Data Content with the Lesson examples and
useful GUI utilities, may be used by a student to integrate into their
own Apps.
Students leave the AccuTerm GUI Development Class with all the skills
needed to immediately starting building feature rich Windows style GUI
screens that tightly integrate to their existing MultiValue database.
Note that, at present, there is no cost for the AccuTerm GUI designer
program or any runtime modules, only the AccuTerm 2K2 product is
required, making this GUI environment very cost effective.

Optimizing UniData BASIC with code profiling
As code "matures" its performance can begin to suffer under the
weight of new code and changes to existing code. The boss wants every
program running at peak efficiency - and why not? But how can we know
where the bottlenecks might be? In this course we'll explore Unidata
BASIC profiling and how this feature can help you maximize the
performance of your programs without wasting a lot of time with
experiments or guesswork.

The MultiValue Reporting Series focuses on getting information from your
MultiValue application to other reporting environments. There are a variety
of tools available to offer better ways of looking at the information
contained in your MultiValue application if we can get this information to
them or expose your information to them.
Business Intelligence
Turning all that data you have been accumulating for years on your
system into usable information (Knowledge) is easier said than done.
The following set of courses will educate the student from a business
perspective and is designed to reach a combined audience of IT and
Business Managers to make that installation easier. A successful BI
installation takes the combined talent of multiple disciplines within an
organization. Gone are the days of IT or the Business Manager working
alone. By working together you can project you and your company to an
even brighter future. Business Intelligence is an odd duck, if you
think about it, it is horizontal application that is tuned to your
company and industry.
