Announcing the January '95 TCU Broadcast
 
HP is very pleased to announce the third broadcast in the highly
successful "Technology Close-up" series.  This is a series of
technical broadcasts, available from HP at no charge, in which
we explore how the HP 3000 can be used together with the many
new technologies and products that are available from HP and
from third parties.
 
The title of the January TCU program is "IMAGE/SQL and
Client/Server Tools".  This program will continue in the same
vein as the earlier two offerings.  The material will be
presented with a strong visual flair, a sense of humor and with
the same sort of "do-it-yourself" flavor that made the first two
shows so successful.
 
This program can be thought of as a continuation of the first
TCU broadcast on Desktop Integration.  In that program, which
aired in February of '94, we began addressing client/server
technologies from the point of view of an absolute beginner,
concentrating on the issues that surround the building of a
local area network to accomodate both your HP 3000 and desktop
systems such as HP Vectras and "Vectra Compatibles".
 
This time out, we will shift the focus to software.   We'll look
at ways to use software packages that run on your desktop
together with IMAGE/SQL or ALLBASE databases on the HP 3000 to
build true client/server solutions.  We'll examine some of the
technologies that can be used to almost magically change
traditional COBOL/VPLUS/IMAGE programs into state of the art
client/server solutions.  And most importantly, we'll talk to
some of the customers who have moved into a client/server
environment, and see just exactly how they were able to make the
transition successfully.  (And while we're at it, we'll examine
some of the mistakes that were made along the way, so that you
don't have to repeat them).
 
The TCU broadcasts have been an unqualified success.  HP 3000
customers  can register for the January broadcast, or order
videotapes of earlier programs by calling the CSY Customer
Connection hotline (1-800-224-hp3k).   The first TCU broadcast
addressed client/server technology.  The second, which aired in
July '94, addressed release 5.0 of MPE/iX.
