Samples Of
The Tutorials
These clips are
only a sample of the CD movies.
The full tutorials consist of 4 CD's containing over 40 hours of
video material. They constitute a complete step-by-step course in
filePro programming from beginner to expert.
Viewed over the net,
these movies may take a few seconds to start depending on your
connection.
Once a movie starts playing on your system,
you should immediately
press ALT and while holding this key down, press ENTER. The movie
will now continue playing in Full Screen Mode providing the best

Lesson
NEW Version 1.3 Dynamic Index
The only new thing in Version 1.3 is the Dynamic
Index... another innovation for filePro John Esak and The Valar Group.
You complained that the Survivor Series Version 1.0 Tutorial had SO
much material in it that it was hard to locate something you wanted to
see again. We agree... so, this little gem will blow you away!
A special filePro-based search engine is now
included on every CD. It lets you type in any keyword or phrase
and be taken directly to the movie or movies that pertain to that
topic!
This is truly an innovation that won't be found
anywhere else in the world... in any product, in any thing. It is simply
fantastic, and only filePro and The Survivor Series Tutorials have it
now! A month after this release, everyone will be doing it everywhere in
all sorts of packages and products and saying they did it first.
You will know better. Check it out, so you can once again be ahead of
the curve.
(Do yourself a favor and get the new Survivor
Series Accounting Package before March 15th, and this amazing
"dynamically indexed" Version 1.3 of the Survivor Series Programming
Tutorials will be a free add-on for you. But, do not delay. This insane
offer will absolutely be going away on March 15th, 2007 You will not
have an opportunity this good again. Take advantage of it!)

The Fastest Easiest Way To Learn filePro
The Programming
Tutorials are 3 CD's, Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced, which
take you via the use of step-by-step movies from knowing nothing
about filePro at all, to knowing just about everything you need
to make you an excellent filePro programmer. Absolutely no
previous programming skills or filePro knowledge is required.
Just sit back, watch and listen as one of the leading experts in
the field teaches you from scratch.
Beginning takes
you from knowing nothing to a point where you will know what any
good filePro programmer has learned. Intermediate will land you
at a fully competent plateau where you will have covered most of
filePro's important aspects. The Advanced CD will deposit you at
a place where you'll be able to write almost any program you can
imagine, in filePro. A determined learner could master this
material in about two to three weeks. From nowhere to expert in
light speed time. That's how good these CD's are.
Design
The
course is not a series of detached lessons, but a cohesive
approach that has you building a useful accounting application
as you learn each new thing. You can either just watch and
listen, or follow along trying each step out yourself as you go.
You can Pause, the movie, Rewind, Fast Forward or start again as
many times as you like. You get to go over and over each routine
and explanation until you understand it thoroughly.
This is not just a
dry rundown of the fundamental filePro applications like Define
Files, Define Screens, Define Edits, etc. The videos certainly
cover all aspects of these basics, but they do it while
constructing a cohesive client application. From the outset you
will be learning all about every aspect of filePro, while
focusing on each important section in its turn. Throughout, you
may be in the middle of learning how to make a particular
function work, when it becomes necessary to learn another piece
of the puzzle before you can go any further at that point. That
is what makes these tutorials so unique and valuable. They NEVER
mention or employ a function or technique to describe something
if that function or technique hasn't been properly explained
previously. That is why there is no programming or filePro
knowledge required to start working with these CD's. They are
self-contained and self-illuminating.
Get New Programmers Up To Speed Fast
Suppose you have an in house system that uses filePro and you
know nothing about how to modify it to better suit your changing
needs. The SS Tutorial is ideal for you. As an employer, you can
give these CD's to an employee and have them learn the program
from the ground up. Depending on the abilities of the people you
give this course to, the better you are going to be able to
continually enhance your own programs. If you hire a technically
minded person, or even a computer science type and tell them that
learning your system is part of the package, you can grow your
own filePro programmer. Anyone can learn from this course, and
someone with a penchant for programming of any kind already,
will become addicted to the power and sped of designing in
filePro. For the cost of this course, and a few weeks of ramp-up
time, you can easily save your company thousands and thousands
of dollars in expensive consulting time.
What's Not Covered?
From the outset of the Beginning Tutorial, it is stated that these
courses will not cover two capabilities of filePro, HTML and ODBC. These
are essentially other languages and protocols all in themselves, and it
is not within the scope of this otherwise complete filePro course to
cover these topics. Note: No fpGI specific code is discussed in these
tutorials. Everything covered will work in fpGI, but no code that only
works in fpGI is used here. (fpGI - filePro Graphical Interface)

- "I expected this to be a dry run-through of
filePro, but you start right off building that cool accounting
application and keep right on going, adding each new filePro function
just as it is needed. This is the fastest way I can imagine to learn
filePro. Fantastic job!"
- "I have been using filePro for as long as
you have, John. How is it that I learned something new in almost every
lesson on these CD's. You are truly the best filePro teacher around.
Don't know how to thank you. I've wanted to understand some of this
stuff for years, especially arrays, the header-detail thing and file
I/O. They have all been mysteries until I watched you lay it out all so
simply. I'm going to rewrite every program I have. I don't know whether
to thank you or hate you."
- "These disks are worth $500 a piece. You
are a fool for selling them so cheap. They are spectacular."
- "Your exposition of the Add, Modify, Delete
Browse was so elegant and simple. I have been complicating everything I
write. It's so easy when you see it done right. Thanks for letting me
see this stuff ahead of the pack. The package is so slick. The filePro
crowd is going to be very pleasantly surprised. Once again, you have put
the bar out of sight."
- "You asked me to help you go over these
disks and improve them in whatever way I could. I wouldn't change a
thing. filePro should have done this years ago, but you know what, I
don't think they could have done it better. These are perfect. You must
have spent years on this project."
- I think you're right. It's easy to see
that anyone could learn filePro from this course alone. I'm flattered
that you thought I might be able to improve on the CD's, but no way,
you've got it all here already."
