        Number: 	EY-1113E-L0-0001
        Title:  	Trellis Training
        Format: 	Lec/Lab
        Date:   	September 11/13, 1989
        Length: 	3 days
	Instructor: 	Bruce D. Bullis
        Language:       English

	Audience:		Software Engineers and Technical 
				managers who have chosen an 
				object-oriented approach for designing
				software systems and are using (or are
				considering) the Trellis language and
				environment for development.

	Prerequisites:		Principles of Object Oriented 
				Programming; Knowledge of atleast one
				higher-level programming language such 
				as C or Pascal.

	Objectives:		This course is designed to give the 
				participants an in-depth understanding 
				of the Trellis development environment.
				Particular emphasis will be given to 
				programming CIM applications using 
				Trellis.

	Instructor Biography:   Bruce D. Bullis is a member of the 
				Object-Based Systems Group, a part of 
				Database Systems at Digital.  Bruce 
				received a BA in Mathematics and Physics 
				from Miami University and an MS in Computer 
				Science from the University of Wisconsin.  
				Bruce is also one of the principle developers 
				of the Trellis system and is currently 
				working on the design and implementation of 
				an object-oriented database system. His 
				professional interests include object-oriented 
				technology, software engineering, data
				management, and technology transfer.

Preliminary Course Outline:
--------------------------

Day 1:  Introduction to the Trellis programming language and library
Day 2:  Introduction to the Trellis programming environment
        Hands-on use of Trellis with programming examples
Day 3:  More hands-on (could be structured or open)


Detailed outline
----------------

Day 1:

    Morning

        - introduction to object-oriented programming and Trellis: 
            a detailed look at the Trellis programming language
        - extended programming example in Trellis

    Afternoon

        - applying the methodology: using types and inheritance
        - introduce and work on class problem
        - discuss solutions to class problem
        - introduction to the Trellis basic type library


Day 2:  mostly hands-on lab

    Morning

        - introduction to the Trellis programming environment
        - using objects and types to model the real world - programming 
	  examples 
            small group problem solving using Trellis 
            (including programming and debugging)
            class discussion of solutions

    Afternoon

        - More problem solving
        - possibly more details on the programming environment
        - a detailed look at the programming envrionment type library


Day 3:

    comments -
        This day could be optional and could be structured (group problem 
         solving and class discussion) or open to allow individuals to work
         on their own problems.

    Morning

        more hands-on lab

        - more programming examples: 
            practical problems provided by students



General Comments:

Students can submit "real" problems to use as examples in the
programming example sections to PBSVAX::BULLIS

    Does anyone know of the exact status of Trellis;internal/external. Last
    that I heard was that Phase 0 of productization had been put on hold. I
    can't imagine that anyone would start a major project with a language
    that didn't have a guaranteed future (maintenance especially). This
    announcement seems to imply that the language is going to evolve.
