    Hi All,

     

    When I joined the Gen team a few months back, I took the online Gen training to jump start my learning of the product.  I learned a lot about Gen in the process, but I also had some ideas on how we could make the learning process easier.  These ideas have started a refresh of the Gen training materials.

     

    We need your help to assemble the list of training materials that would help you and your team the most. 

    Here are a couple ideas from the Gen team: 

    • Are there specific scenario training that would help on-board a new Gen team member?
    • What about particular upgrade scenarios?
    • Focus on a particular technology area?

     

    The training may be traditional training, or for smaller topics/scenarios it may be a short video.

     

    We need you ideas!

     

    Note: the training will be available to all Gen customers who are active on maintenance.

     

    Thanks!

    Hi Susan;

    Welcome to Gen community I’m working in CA Gen since 1999 and run training for more than 200 person to use CA Gen I can list the issue of the training in next points

     

    • One of the big mistake in CA it represent CA Gen as Mainframe Development tool please remove CA Gen from Mainframe area CA GEN support windows , Unix ,and mainframe new generation don’t want to learn mainframe
    • CA should spend a lot of money and effort to re market CA Gen (Frist)
    • No updating martial form CA I’m still use martial form tutorial

    Prepared by Tony R. Pierce in June/July, 2001 COOL: Gen Client/Server Development Tutorial

    • More videos and presentation about how to use new features in Gen (BLOB; INLINE CODE ;…..)
    • CA should spend a lot of money and effort to re market CA Gen (second)
    • New martial should be focus on the new target JAVA plat form no one need to learn Block mode
    • martial should be free like Gen 8.6 to make Widespread for the tool between students university and institute (Microsoft strategy )
    • CA should  allow to create free encyclopedia  in the cloud for training
    • CA should spend a lot of money and effort to re market CA Gen (third)
    • CA should end the training by certificate new generation like certificate concept
    • CA should spend a lot of money and effort to re market CA Gen (fourth)
