This class is fairly advanced and not intended for those who have never used VFP/VMP. Attendees are expected to have the following skills:

• Application-development experience, having created at least a major portion of one or more applications (not necessarily VFP or VMP)
• Familiarity with the Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP interface and the Visual FoxPro development environment
• Experience creating Visual FoxPro application components (classes, forms, controls, etc.)
• Experience creating and using Visual FoxPro classes and subclasses
• Experience creating and using Visual MaxFrame Professional components (if not, you may not be able to keep up with the rest of the group)

Attendees are encouraged to bring their project-specific design issues for consideration, and our instructors welcome questions on topics outside the prepared material.

Custom training (hands-on or lecture style)

Custom (usually on-site) VMP training is available when you need to train your entire team on a VMP project. The training is customized to your specific application, and is tailored to the skill level of your team. Duration is at your discretion, depending on your needs:

• 3 days, similar to the Scheduled 3-day classes (hands-on) described above, useful when the entire team meets the skill requirements of that class
• 3 days of advanced training on specific application project topics, when the attendees have already mastered VMP basics
• 5 days, incorporating the elements of Scheduled 3-day classes (hands-on) described above, and adding custom/advanced project-specific topics
• any duration/topics that accommodate your needs

Once development of your project is underway, our instructor developers are available to return at appropriate times for follow-up training or to assist with any other aspect of development or Visual MaxFrame Professional integration.

To schedule training or for more information, call 1-816-350-7900 and ask for VMP Sales.

User groups and other informal groups can offer VMP training classes of any type.

Instructors

Visual MaxFrame Professional class instructors are unique in that they are VMP developers who periodically train others rather than being trainers who occasionally work with VMP.
