XI204 - Introduction to Tandem for UNIX Programmers
DESCRIPTION
This course is available on-site or as a self-paced course. It is designed as a broad-based and solid introduction to the Tandem platform. We presume that the student already knows something about UNIX programming, but needs to be able to function effectively in the Tandem environment. This introduction to Tandem for UNIX Programmers covers both the K- and S-series platforms.

This course is not an introduction in how to program. This course intends to introduce Tandem to UNIX-literate programmers, not teach them how to program.

This course will present you an overview of the Tandem environment, including a very extensive lab covering the main utilities, editors, and TACL.

Course Duration: 2-1/2 days (on-site)

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Those who will be programming or manage programming staff using the OSS personality on the Tandem system(s).
