DCRT Computer Training—Summer Session
The summer session of the DCRT's 1996 computer training program will offer classes ranging from one-hour seminars to multi-session courses. The term runs from just after July 4 through the end of August. Students can register by calling 4-DCRT (301-594-3278), by submitting a simple one-page form, though the WYLBUR's ENTER TRAINING command, or via the Web at
All classes in the DCRT program are offered without charge.
New courses in tools to access and provide information on the World Wide Web (Web) will highlight the summer term. "Macintosh Techniques and Tools for HTML Tables and Forms" and "PC Techniques and Tools for Tables and Forms" will assist those who are developing Web pages. For those about to offer information on the Web for the first time, a new seminar "Hands-On HTML" will offer an easy introduction to hypertext markup language.
Using the Web from home via PARACHUTE is of interest to a growing segment of the NIH community, and separate seminars will be offered for Mac and PC users to explain the process of configuring their machines. Accessing information on the Web is the focus of three new seminars, "Introduction to MS Access," "More About MS Access," and "Web Access to Databases."
Client/server database classes for the summer will include "Relational Database and Client/Server Access Overview," "Introduction to Oracle PL/SQL," "Oracle for Application Developers," "Introduction to Oracle Forms," and "Introduction to PowerBuilder."
The new "Account Sponsor's Orientation" on July 16 will explain what DCRT account sponsors need to know to carry out their responsibilities and will give them the training needed to use ENTER SPONSOR to carry them out with confidence. That afternoon, "Deregistration Official's Orientation" will give the additional information needed for those with this important responsibility. All account sponsors, deregistration officials, and their alternates or those who may assume such duties at a later time are welcome to attend these presentations.
Last term's very popular "Macintosh Shortcuts and Info" will be given again as will a new seminar, "Advanced Macintosh Operations." The features of the new version of Eudora Pro for the Macintosh will be covered in a one hour seminar.
