InConcept
to do ORM public training at
Northface University
InConcept
continues to offer ORM training to the public via an agreement with Northface
University in Salt Lake City, Utah. Under this agreement InConcept will
offer week long classes in ORM using Northface's facilities. In addition to
the facilities the students will be able to visit a most interesting program
for programing and database design. These students attend 40 hours each week
and work in development teams just like the "real" world. They are
given the best in instructors, curriculum, materials and equipment. The course
takes 28 months for an undergrate degree. A master pogram is expected to start
soon. Too bad I am not 30+ years younger. Attending an ORM class also permits
the students to see the new home of ORM and visit with the staff. Your ORM
training is provided by InConcept. InConcept has been offering the public
courses for over 10 years and the instructors have been doing NIAM/ORM for
over 20+ years each. Please contact Patrick
Hallock if you are interested in an ORM course. The next course is scheduled
for the week of April 5, 2004.

Visio
Component Reader
Microsoft
Visio now has a Visio Web Reader. This new reader allows you to share .vsd
and .vxd diagrams over the internet. Or interest, of course, is the sharing
of models created in MS Visio. You can down load the reader at:

InConcept
begins using Visio Studio . NET
Visio
product to design systems for customers. After evaluating the newer version
of the ORM and Logical model components of the upcoming Visio version InConcept
decided it was stable enough to use in the 'real' world. Many of new features
are found to be faster and easier to use. In particular we like the ability
to separate the drawing from the object and fact lists. The ability to place
a single object on a page and ask for related facts makes it easier to review
models and to understand 'where used' investigations. The use of several source
documents in the making of logical models is also an advantage over earlier
versions. Using Visio custom properties allows us to put tagged data on shapes
to enhance documentation.
Microsoft DevDays
The
new Visual Studio .Net development environment now includes several modeling
tools including Object Role Modeling. The local office of Microsoft permitted
InConcept to present this session. About 300 people listened to the presentation.
