Personal help in Australia

[MalG]

I wonder if there is a experienced Alpha developer in Australia (preferably Queensland) who may be able to provide some personal tutoring to help me shorten my learning curve with Alpha Five V7. I am a novice to Alpha, though not to programming, and I would prefer to spend some money rather than spend too much time getting to know some basics and some Xbasic.

Thank you Stan, I checked and the only consultant listed for Australia is the distributor who is not in a position to assist. Thanks for the thought.

Mal,
I'm in the same boat but in Sydney - will let you know if I discover an answer to the same question.

Best of luck.

Mal & John,

If no one turns up in your areas you might try contacting Valerie Simkin at PACE Training (there's usually a link listed at the bottom of the www.alphasoftware.com web page). I took her Level 1 & 2 classes at the National Users Conference last Spring and found them extremely helpful. I think she offers online training as well as in person.

PACE Training is running some international training sessions using VoIP for the conference call. You might check http://www.pacetraining.com.

Full disclosure: I'm the trainer for most of these courses.

Thanks Bob,

I am certainly looking into this option.

Thank you Steve,

I am considering this option, I gather you are recommending the live online sessions.

When I first started teaching the live sessions on-line sessions I was concerned about losing much of what can be taught in face-to-face classroom-type settings. I've been pleasantly surprised and pleased by the tools available for on-line teaching.

Thanks Steve.

I am not experienced in using these systems, though I did log into some webcast last month (one of Alpha's possibly ?), is this the same, or similar, in operation... I remember that I was hooked in at international call rates (while the US customers had some type of single local call fee), obviously international rates for 2 days would add up. I checked your site and see the next Level 1 course is a month away, is that correct ? I believe you have other online options (online and/or download ?), could you advise your opinion of the comparison to your live tutorials systems please.

I suggest you talk with Valerie at PACE Training. Her email is [email protected]. And visit the web site I suggested below for info on course content, which is much more substantial than the overview you've already seen. There's a 2-day Level 1 course a 2-day Level 2 course, a 2-day XBasic course and a (currently) 1-day JumpStart to the Web. These are hands-on, interactive courses meant for teaching and learning.

We're beginning training using VoIP, so there's no long-distance phone charges involved.

Thanks Steve
