Data Services Training Options

[former_member188886]

I would like to hear from others what are some Data Services Developer Training options & feedback about which ones you have used & how good they are:

- On line

- Hands on

- 3rd party training offsite & on-site options ( Minneapolis, MN area preferred).

- Traning materials that could be used in house.

- Easy method/options to set up training environments.

Here are some I know of:

- SAP BusinessObjects Data Services Tutorial

Data Services Documentaion that comes with the client Intallation.

- SAP Training

E-Learning (Any feedback on these?)

[BOI315 - DS320eV3.0 - Data Services XI 3.0: Core Concepts|http://www.sap.com/usa/services/education/tabbedcourse.epx?context=%5b%5b%7cBOI315%7c%7c%7c083%7cUS%7c%5d%5d%7c]

It seems hands on is the best, but it's a lot of work to set up the training environment

- Install on training machines full version, but don't want to violate license.

- Setting up MYSQL individual databases for 25 developers could take a lot of time & isn't really a corp standard here.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

I am an instructor for the BOI300 course.

It is a three-day, hands-on course. The topics are the same as the BOI315 and BOI305 e-learning courses.

We offer the course either Virtual Live, at one of our training centers, or at your site.

We provide a Citrix environment for the class, so no additional setup would be necessary (browser and a reasonable internet connection)

Of course, my opinion of the course is not objective - I love it!

When opting for the e-learning (self-paced), take the BOI315 first, then the BOI305 (sorry, that is confusing). These are essentially HTML versions of the BOI300 course. In order to practice hands-on, you would need to set-up your own environment.

MySQL is what the courses call for, but the sample databases and repos could be setup on another DB type without too much trouble. In the past, by special arrangement, I have taught the course on Oracle or SQL Server.

I have been trying to track down a list of live training sessions. Any suggestions where I might be able to find that information?

Any new developments on new training that might be available?

Thanks
