Mark the 18th of August in your diary.  That’s when we are running our Omnis Studio “Basics” online training course in 2 different languages, English and German, and across different time zones (CET and EDT) catering to as many customers & developers as possible across Europe and America. The “Omnis Studio Basics in Developing Web and Mobile Apps” course (to give it its full title) is a FREE, online training course designed to introduce newcomers to application development, or show the benefits of using Omnis Studio to established app developers. So if you want to find out how to create Web & Mobile applications, quickly and easily, using a modern, powerful & flexible app development tool, like Omnis Studio, then you should sign up for our “Basics” online training course. And if you are an existing Omnis developer, perhaps still using Studio 6 or 8, or even Studio 10.0 or 10.1, then you should attend this course to find out about all the new features in Omnis Studio 10.2, including the enhancements in the IDE and the great new stuff for you to use in your application UI for end users (new JS components, animations, SVG icons, color themes, etc).

About the Basics course

The Omnis Studio “Basics” online course helps you get started with Omnis Studio, quickly and easily, and is built for beginners or those new to Omnis, or existing developers thinking of moving up to Studio 10.2. You will learn the HTML File structure required to build your JavaScript Web & Mobile apps, and the remote classes you will need (forms and tasks). During the 90 minute online course you can work through the steps needed, or you can just sit back and watch our expert trainers – you will create an example JavaScript remote form, containing different UI components, supporting different screen resolutions, suitable for display on Web or Mobile devices – all from one code base. Specific topics include:

• Introduction to the Omnis Studio IDE
• Getting to know the Omnis Studio folder structure
• Starting a new project (create a new library)
• Learning to design a responsive remote form
• How to handle Events
• Basics of Omnis notation (methods, properties, aka writing Omnis code)
• Animation for UI objects
• Sending messages
• Client executed methods
• CSS in Omnis & color themes

About the Trainers

Our trainers are very experienced in Omnis application development: Andreas Pfeiffer in our German office is a Senior consultant and has consulted for many leading companies in Europe on large Omnis development projects – plus he is a fluent German and English speaker (and plays lead guitar in a band, so he likes being centre stage!). Jeramy Jeffereis in our New York office has a wealth of experience supporting and consulting for our customers across North America. Depending on the course you book, you’ll get to meet one of these friendly guys, or one of our great Technical or Consulting staff. The Omnis Basics course (and the other 5 courses) are available in English and German, and in different time zones including CET and EDT (and BTW we do have courses in Italian and Spanish, delivered by our Omnis partner Software Products Italia SoftPI.com).
