Follow along as Steve Smith, the principal developer of Visual ProMatrix, takes you on a tour of VPME 9.1 as only he can. Videos are available as downloads or on DVD.

All New and Expanded!
The VPME 9.1 Training Videos are all new. The content has been expanded to include everything covered in the old VPM Training on CD and Applied VPM video courses plus much more. And, of course, the VPME 9.1 Training Videos are based on all the cool, new features 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.

  • Bonus Video Lessons: Videos 39 - 41 are bonus videos covering Advanced Tips and Techniques related to applications, forms and data.

  • Equivalent to Live VPME Classes: These training videos are equivalent to our Mastering VPME and Solutions Workshop live classes that cost more than twice as much, not counting travel and lodging costs to attend.

Downloads or DVD Available - Your Choice!

We’ve packaged the training videos two ways to let you pick the option that fits you best:
  • Video Package #1 - Downloadable Training Videos: If you have a fast Internet connection and can download large files without a problem, you should consider purchasing the Downloadable Training Videos.
    • Good-Quality Downloadable Files: Until recently, 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.
    • Player: The downloadable videos are WMV files that you can play in Windows Media Player or a comparable media player for WMV files.
    • Benefits: Benefits of the Downloadable Training Videos include:
      • Save up to $50 on purchase price.
      • Save shipping cost ($20 US; $60 International).
      • Get them immediately without waiting.
  • Video Package #2 - Training Videos on DVD: If downloading large files isn't for you or if you would like the highest quality videos, the Training Videos on DVD are for you. The Training Videos on DVD must be shipped to you. The Training Videos on DVD package contains:
    • DVDs: Two DVDs containing both (1) the highest video quality AVI files and (2) the Downloadable Training Videos.
      • The Downloadable Training Videos are provided so that you can copy them to your notebook computer’s hard drive to take them with you without needing to travel with the DVDs and without consuming the almost 5 GB of disk space that the AVI files would require.
    • Camtasia Player: A media player that provides the highest quality playback of the AVI videos. While the Downloadable Training Videos WMV files provide good quality audio and video, the AVI videos provide the highest quality audio and video when played in the Camtasia Player.
    • Benefits: Benefits of the Training Videos on DVD include:
      • The AVI files provide the highest-quality, crystal-clear video playback.
      • You don't have to download the training videos if downloading large files is a problem for you.
