• Using CloudShare® enables us to provide additional value for attendees without the need to leave their regular place of work. This option can significantly reduce travel and accommodation costs.

Scheduled training courses:

• We run public courses throughout the year, both online and classroom-based.

• Scheduled training courses are published on the www.uniface.info community website.

• If a scheduled course is unavailable, or does not fit your schedule, we will work with you to find another solution.

• Some of our Uniface Partners provide training services. Details of our partners can be found on www.uniface.com.

A modular approach to course deliveryUniface training courses are modular by design to provide a flexible approach to the delivery of training.

This modular approach enables customers to choose the best training solution for their needs, taking into consideration factors such as previous development tool experience, previous knowledge of Uniface and/or compatible technologies and so forth.

Uniface Mobile (duration 3 days)This course enables students to use Uniface to develop software applications for mobile devices. Mobile applications developed with Uniface are responsive web-deployed applications, so there is an overlap with the Uniface Web training course. It should be noted that all web-related topics are in the context of deployment on mobile devices. Special attention will be paid to the issue of designing an application for mobile devices.

Areas covered in this training are:

• Dynamic Server Page (DSP) widgets: objects that are used to display data in a browser on a mobile device.

• Uniface ProcScript: high-level code that is used to implement certain behavior of Uniface applications.

• Uniface templates: objects that can speed up software development.

• JavaScript API: an API that enables the manipulation of Uniface objects using JavaScript.

• HTML5, CSS3, and JS frameworks, like Bootstrap and JQuery, which are created for the development of responsive mobile web applications.

• Viewport: how to use the initial definition of the mobile screen size.

• Cordova plugins: how to connect to a mobile device’s native functionality like photos and contacts.

• Previewer app: the application for testing and deploying mobile applications.

Prerequisites: Uniface Essentials or Uniface experience covering the Uniface Essentials content. Knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Knowledge of mobile or web concepts.

Uniface Web (duration 3 days)Uniface Web enables Uniface developers to develop software applications for the web with Uniface.

Students will learn how to develop Dynamic Server Pages (DSPs). DSPs are Uniface’s software components that can be deployed in a web browser. Both Uniface’s web-specific topics and the more general topics like HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript are covered during this course.

Areas covered in this training are:

• Presentation/logic split: data handling and presentation logic can be completely separated.

• DSP widgets: objects that are used to display data in a web browser, such as edit boxes, command buttons and dropdown lists.

• Uniface ProcScript: high level code that is used to implement certain behavior of Uniface applications.

• Uniface templates: objects that can speed up software development.

Prerequisites: Uniface Essentials or Uniface experience covering the Uniface Essentials content. Knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Knowledge of web concepts.
