Hands on, Personal, Effective

Training for PointDragon application development focuses on all aspects of the PointDragon development process pertinent to the design, creation, and maintenance of highly effective and streamlined systems. The course begins with an overview of several high level paradigm oriented topics: Visual programming versus traditional coding, working with functional components, debugging, and the PointDragon workflow framework. Guided by expert PointDragon developers, trainees delve into the finer skills required to build applications in a hands-on environment. The full range of functionality within the PointDragon platform is reviewed so that trainees have the tools to build, enhance, integrate, and maintain applications in the future.

PointDragon training is held at GraphLogic's Branford, Connecticut, offices in the northeastern United States. Special arrangements can be made to accommodate large training groups at off-site locations.
