Those who are already familiar with Geocortex Essentials and want to learn how to start developing .NET-based workflows.
- Successful completion of Getting Started with Geocortex Essentials
- Fundamental knowledge of .NET programming concepts is useful. For an introduction to .NET programming concepts, we recommend the Visual Basic Fundamentals for Absolute Beginners guide.
- Test your system to ensure that Adobe Connect and the virtual machine that you will be using during training can run successfully
- We recommend using two monitors for an ideal learning experience
The scheduled training below offers you an online, instructor-led classroom experience, but you can also take courses when they’re more convenient for you! Self-directed course delivery includes:
- 2-3 consecutive days’ access (dependent on course) to a Geocortex training environment
- All course materials
- Access to a Geocortex instructor during office hours
All self-directed courses are offered at the same prices as their instructor-led equivalents.
Please contact your regional Geocortex partner to find local training options. Check out the 1Spatial (UK) Geocortex on-site training options or the SIGGIS (Belgium) Geocortex on-site training options.
