VPME 9.1 Training Videos
Learn to Harness the Power of VPM Enterprise 9.1
VPM Enterprise 9.1 is the professional framework for Visual FoxPro. VPME 9.1 is the most powerful framework available for Visual FoxPro. To help you harness all the power that VPME 9.1 provides, we have created this VPME 9.1 Video Training course.
Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced: Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced VPME 9.1 user, we recommend the VPME 9.1 Training Videos. If you are a beginner, you will learn new skills that you never thought you could learn so easily. If you are an intermediate or advanced user, you will see parts of VPME 9.1 you never knew were there, and you will learn new tricks and techniques that will make the videos pay for themselves many times over.
Based on over 15 years of experience teaching developers to use Visual ProMatrix, we have put together 25+ hours of video instruction (wmv files) that detail the essence of VPME 9.1 in a way that will have you creating professional VPME 9.1 applications by the time you finish the last lesson.
You're in Control: Of course, the beauty of VPME 9.1 Video Training is that you control when and where your training takes place. Whenever you need a refresher on a covered topic, you can simply play a video on your computer and review the topic again.
VPM Enterprise 9.1 Mobile Training Videos: You can carry the VPM Enterprise 9.1 Training Videos with you wherever you go. Whether you're in the car, on a plane or in a waiting room, you can be learning to use VPME 9.1 to the fullest. The VPME 9.1 Training Videos are now available as MP4 files optimized for playback on mobile video devices such as iPhones, iPods, Blackberries, Android phones, Zunes, etc. The complete set of 41 video lessons - over 25 hours - are available for only $49. |
Note: The MP4 Training Videos play great on the mobile devices for which they are intended. However, ProMatrix does not warrant the quality of the MP4 files for play with computer desktop media players. For desktop media players, the normal wmv Training Videos work best. |

What's Included
The VPME 9.1 Training Videos cover all aspects of VPME 9.1.
- 25 Hours - 41 Lessons: Over 25 hours of training videos in 41 video lessons designed to teach you to use VPM Enterprise 9.1 to create professional Visual FoxPro applications.
- Synched with VPME 9.1 User's Guide: The first 38 videos follow the flow of the chapters in the VPM Enterprise 9.1 User’s Guide. As a result, you can easily refer to the chapter that matches a video when you want more detail on a specific topic.

- Equivalent to Live VPME Classes: These training videos are equivalent to our Mastering VPME and Solutions Workshop live classes that cost many times as much, not counting travel and lodging costs to attend.
- Good-Quality Downloadable Files: At one time, ProMatrix Training Videos were too large to download and had to be shipped to you on CDs. However, we found a way to produce good quality videos that are 20% the size of the CD videos. That means it is now practical for you to download the Training Videos from the ProMatrix Web and avoid shipping charges and delivery time. Further, because we no longer have to create and ship CDs, we can reduce the price of the downloadable videos.
- The 41 individual video download files range in size from 4MB to 54MB. In addition, all 41 video files are included in one 770MB zip file for those who can download a file of that size.

VPME 9.1 Video Training Lesson List
The VPME 9.1 Training Videos include the lessons and subjects listed in the table below. The table also shows the time devoted to each Lesson.
The “Chapter / Subject” column shows the VPM Enterprise 9.1 User’s Guide chapter that corresponds to a video and the User’s Guide page number for the chapter.
Because the Advanced Tips and Techniques videos ( 39 – 41) cover multiple, unrelated subjects, the “Chapter / Subject” column for those videos shows the subjects covered in each video and the Time column shows the start time and length of each video.
