Hi David, I had get the Advanced Framework Course Videos in the year of 2006 - . Is it the one that BJ refers to? This is good at the Framework detail.
Is there any others new tutorial videos soon? I am thinking to get one. Let me know if it is ready. - Charles TJ -----Original Message----- From: David E Jones [mailto:d...@me.com] Sent: 13 Juli 2009 8:07 To: user@ofbiz.apache.org Subject: Re: functional training Yes, thanks BJ. There are some introductory videos available for free download: http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBTECH/Framework+Introduction+Videos+and+Diag rams These include a complete introduction to the OFBiz Framework and an overview with examples for all primary best practice tools. Related to that Advanced Framework Course, I did a complete set of videos for that way back when, and the full transcript is available for free on the attachments to this page (the goal for putting them there was to get the applicable material transferred to the XSD files for in-editor reference, and it is helpful for general stuff too): http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBTECH/Advanced+Framework+Transcription+Work+ Plan Of course, neither of these have been updated for a while. The business side of this was interesting: it took me about 1 month working full-time (plus hiring a technical writer for 1 month full- time to transcribe the videos) to prepare for and produce these, and then about 2.5 years selling them at $250 (then later much less) to recover the investment. I may do that again at some point, but am not in a position to right now and in general I consider the UBPL effort a much higher priority (and one that should help a LOT with information more helpful for end- users). A good effort recently mentioned is one by Ruth Hoffman. I talked to someone who reviewed what she has done so far and evidently she has quite a lot done already. If we're all lucky she'll have something published soon! From talking with her I also understand that she wants to do training along with this, and I hope that I can support her in those efforts as I agree they are of great value for the project! -David
