Video Courses

As the speaker at WinDevCon 2007, I had to develop courses on a variety of subject (4 1/2 days of courses). I used this material to build video courses, complete with screen recording, commenting voice, and project examples. These courses are now for sale for all of you who couldn't come to WinDevCon 2007, and for those who just prefer to learn from their offices.

WinDev content, WebDev content, WinDev Mobile content, Order, Prices, Shipping, General information

First let me explain that these courses were built as a progression. The WinDev DVD includes 12 separate courses, each organized in chapter accessible individually via a simple UI. Each course supposes that you followed the previous ones in the progression.

In the same manner, some WebDev or WinDev Mobile courses include references to content provided in some of the WinDev courses (by example, debugging in WebDev refers a lot to the general debugging course given in the WinDev section)…

That's the reason why:
- Each course is not sold separately (ie you cannot order just the Protect your software course, or the OOP course), but as packs
- It is not advisable to order just the WebDev or WinDev mobile course (I will not forbid you to do so, but don't complain afterward)
