Advance SPDL Course

Advance SPDL Course

I order to avoid any confusion over the future of SPDLs in upcoming versions,
we would like to reassure users that we will maintain backward compatibility
for all user SPDL files.  In fact SPDLs will remain an important part of the
product
and are used extensively to define our internal objects, something we are not
currently
planning to change.

However it is true that we are working actively to provide some alternatives
ways
to achieve some of the things that currently can only be done with SPDL files.
I'm very excited about these features but I can't divulge a lot about them at
this point.

So Francois is completely correct that anything that you have learnt about SPDL
files
will help you understand these alternatives, and I can add that you will be
able to
continue to use SPDL files if you are comfortable with them.  

It is great that this SPDL course is being planned.

I have no idea. Anyway, we want to do the course for people using XSI now. When
eventually XSI 4.0 will be released, if SPDL are still there, fine. If they are
replaced, the learnt concepts will still be applicable.

So the talk about SPDLs being dropped/replaced/whatever in v4.0 was indeed

just a rumor?

Hi Gang,



In our last User Group meeting we announce that in association with XSI

Montreal François Painchaud will be conducting an advance SPDL Course in

Montreal.



Below is the summary of what could be covered by an "advanced SPDL course":



- Introduction: Presets, SPDLs and property pages

- Purpose of a SPDL

- Structure (divisions) of a SPDL file

- Definition of a parameter (including an answer to the what/why/how of GUIDS

- Specifying the UI of a parameter with simple and advanced UI controls

- Specifying the layout of parameters in a property page

- Adding scripted logic to control the parameter UI

- Adding layout buttons to trigger scripted logic

- Integrating new features to the predefined XSI SPDLs



The cost for this training will be between $50 and $80 per person depending on

the printed and digital material the participants will receive.



Time, date, and location will be determined by the number of people that are

interested and their availability (week day, at night or on a Saturday

(afternoon) For those that left their contact info with us at the end of the

meeting will we be in touch with you soon.



For those interested and further information please send an e-mail to

SPDL@(protected)





Regards,

Will Mendez
