This lab-intensive course will investigate
TACL® as a full-feature programming
language, introduce the user to IF-THEN-ELSE,
CASE, and LOOP constructs, and begin to
explore the use of ROUTINEs.
Course Duration: 3 days (on-site)
Operations staff and programmers
who need tools to help their day-to-day
productivity, or who want to use
TACL® to automate tasks, or
as a way to prototype new applications.
This course is VERY lab-intensive.
