My clients are almost exclusively developers themselves. They are typically the domain expert, knowing a particular field in business very well. What they need to bring their expertise to market, whether as a vertical market application or beyond, is what I have, that is, the software development tools and expertise needed to create without boundaries.

Every product has limits to what it can do. Visual ProMatrix, a very productive framework (there is nothing like it in the VB, J++ or Delphi worlds), has its limits. And so I have added other tools to the mix. These tools are from 3rd parties, or developed by me.

Using these tools is not something anyone is going to learn overnight. The training I offer is 5 days of 4-hour classes of hands-on computer training (you provide the computer with a NIC, I supply the network). And it includes 3 months of follow-up via private newsgroup. It includes all the development libraries I use, with updates available over the web for as long as you have have support (3 months' support comes free with the this course).

The training assumes you already know how to do all the stuff in the VPM manual. If you don't want to take yourself through the manual, taking the VPM training would be a good place to start. The first day does review how to do all the regular stuff in the VPM manual, with some additions and purposeful deletions. But from then on, basic knowledge is assumed to be present.

Training flies: I get bored easily. Luckily for you, the learning points are all presented to in written form you so you can follow along, and you can always ask followup questions when you get back home, through the private newsgroup. In addition, you get a custom ProSysPlus developer helpfile for reference.
