Version 8 Pro also offers faster, more flexible importing of data from databases as well as any ODBC-compliant data source such as DB2/400, SQL Server and Oracle, spreadsheets, CSV files and more. This further reduces the need for custom database queries and report writing. You can also change the data type of fields imported from these data sources. For more information about EZ-Pickin's V8, please visit www.bcdsoftware.com. At our website we also have a useful EZ-Pickin's Version Comparison Table, where a table showing a list of features and the version at which they were first available can help you determine whether you should upgrade.

WebSmart Fundamentals Training in Ft. Wayne, IN

We have scheduled a 4-day WebSmart Fundamentals public training class the week of October 22-25 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Fort Wayne is within driving distance of Detroit, Chicago, Columbus, Cincinnati & Indianapolis; so if you are in the area this is an opportunity to minimize your training travel costs.

To sign up for this class or request further information, please fill out our online training request form.

Course Content
The WebSmart Fundamentals class is a comprehensive course that will give you a working knowledge of all the areas you need to be familiar with in order to begin developing applications with WebSmart. The course begins with an introduction to HTML (page structure elements, tables, images and links), then continues on to creating simple WebSmart programs. As you familiarize yourself with the tool, you'll add more features to your application: passing parameters between programs, customizing file access, and then prompting users for input and validating what they enter.

The class concludes with some exercises in securing applications, SQL, WebSmart’s Change Management interface and the new interactive debugger integrated into the WebSmart IDE.

BCD Staff Profile: FirstNameLastName (Dept)

If at any time in the last few years you've run into a particularly sticky Catapult problem, you've almost certainly enjoyed some long conversations with Marc Alonzo. Marc has been working with BCD at our Sidney , BC office for a little over 3 years, and in that time has evolved into the resident support team Catapult/Spool-Explorer/Nexus expert.

Having grown up in Israel, where he attended an international school, Marc has brought a broader perspective on things to our group. After getting his degree in Computer Science, Marc joined ESDI primarily because we're near the water (Victoria is one of the few places in Canada where there's year-round surfing within a reasonable driving distance), and has stayed on with us because of the people he gets to work with.

Since settling down here in Victoria, he has continued to travel extensively in search of the perfect wave. Surfing through hurricanes in Florida has taught him to stick things out, because, as he puts it, "it usually gets pretty heavy before it gets really, really good".
