--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was at a customer who is trying to implement client / server solutions. They
use Rdb currently, however, there is a group who is evaluating Sybase.

They asked what courses I could recommend that deal with how to develop and
implement client / server solutions with Rdb. They are currently using
SQL/Services, but, they would certainly be interested in courses that dealt
with ODBC. 

I mentioned three possibilities of how we could deliver the information:

1) Standard "off the shelf course" (if one exists)
2) Customized course
3) On-site consulting


Any and all comments would be welcomed and appreciated.

1284.1How about FORTE' ?HAN::DOERINGGimme three steps, mista !Tue Aug 24 1993 11:118
When it is available (FT now, SSB early 94), DEC FORTE' is supposed to be an
excellent tool for implementing distributed heterogenious client/server 
applications. FORTE V1 supports MS Windows, Motif & DEC Rdb (and many more...)

For more information contact Prod.Mgr. Lance Simon (MTVIEW::SIMON) or notes
conference SFBAY::FORTE.

1284.2 The focus is on what they currently haveSIERAS::WALLISBarry Wallis, DTN 536-2060: Dreamer...Owner...DoerTue Aug 24 1993 19:049
    I'm sorry, I guess I didn't make myself clear :-( (I received some mail
    recommending other products also). This customer is trying to use
    SQL/Services and / or ODBC to do client / server processing. They may
    be interested in Desktop ACMS, Forte, DECmessageQ, RTR and other
    products in the future. For now they just want us to help them
    understand how to use what they have *already* purchased.

Barry,
	Something is being developed which partly covers this space - I got 
some details today. 

I suggest that you contact Holly Hendricks@ZKO for more information about the 
"Developing Open C/S Applications" course, slated for December.
