Training Class -- Introduction to Replang Programming

If you have custom reporting needs that go beyond the capabilities of Report Writer Pro, then you need to learn Replang, Advent's Report Writing Programming Language. All Axys reports, including all standard and custom reports, are written in Replang. CSSI offers three levels of Replang Training Classes:

Introduction to Replang Programming
Intermediate Replang Programming
Advanced Replang Programming

For your convenience, each session will be offered at the same time and location as the various Advent User Group regional meetings. Classes are currently planned for Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, and New York City, as well as many other locations around the country. Classes will be offered as long as there is sufficient demand.

Currently scheduled Introduction to Replang Programming classes:

April 24th, 2007 - Chicago, IL (at the offices of RSM McGladrey, One South Wacker)
May 8th, 2007 - Seattle, WA (at the offices of Rigel Capital, 601 Union St. 54th Floor)

Things to do before you attend

1. You should contact Advent and ask them to send you the Report Writing Language Programmer's Guide (REPU34). There is no charge for the book, but you have to ask for it.

2. Plan on bringing a laptop with both Axys and Report Writer Pro installed. There will be hands-on programming exercises during the class. Computers will not be provided, so make sure you bring your laptop so you can take advantage of the learning opportunity provided by the programming excercises.

Make sure you can start Axys and run various Axys reports on your laptop
