Re: [udig-users] uDIG : Some questions

[Jody Garnett <jody.garnett@xxxxxxxxx>]

The commercial training material are available as part of a five day course (udig-training is available from a number of organisations - talk to the PSC member in your region). LISAsoft has been running a number of courses both in Australian and overseas so the material is nice and up to date.

We have arranged for students to be able to access the materials (simply asking for a letter from their professor being sent to admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). We do this mostly to encourage research; and also because we have benefited from research like colour brewer.

Training is one of the few solid sources of income for the project; with each course directly resulting in improvements to the core. We are hoping with the move to git that other organisations will find it easier to take part (with their own business driver)

Thanks for your answers.

@Mauricio : Thansk for Javadoc. I'm not very familiar with Eclipse, so I didn't know it existed this functionnality. I have subscribed to the other mailing list, and I will write on it from now.

@Jody : Thanks. These tutorials would be most helpful. Do are they free  or we have to pay for them? Of course any correction or modification will be shared.

Hi Jeremie:

We have a policy of providing the commercial training materials to those from an academic background (primarily to encourage grad students to take part in the uDig project). These additional tutorials cover a lot more of how the application works internally; and how to bend it to your will :-)

Can you ask your professor to send an email to admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; they should be able to set you up with access to these training materials. In trade we ask that you send any corrections to the email list here.

Thanks Mauricio.

I have already made all the tutorials which are available on the udig site. However, It doesn't really help about how to start concretely except about starting with the RCP model. Does it exist any documentation about uDIG like a Javadoc for instance? Indeed, I have some trouble to find the right tool or the right package.

By the way, Am I writing on the right mailing list or should I use the udig-devel one? (I didn't know it existed...)
