OK, all, it is time to go public with something that Howard Bandy, Bill
Barack, and I have been working on for quite a while. We have taught
seminars utilizing Amibroker for several years, and have seen a need for help
at all levels (beginner to very experienced user) in learning and using
Amibroker. We have created a site called AmibrokerUniversity that
addresses 4 areas -
- Free articles, movies, and code. These will tend to be shorter and
more general in nature.
- Items that are sold - such as screen cam movies of seminars, and
advanced AFL app's or utilities. There are currently three
seminars. They are edited versions of conference seminars that are in
the range of 7 - 9 hours each and broken up into manageable sections.
- In several weeks, we will turn on the paid subscription portion of the
site. There will be a couple of longer articles each month, some
accompanied by movies, plus AFL app's. For example, Howard also plans
to cover certain chapters of his book based on the results of a voting poll.
- Lastly, there is a site-specific forum with its own search
facility.
So, why this format. A couple of reasons -
- We find ourselves answering the same questions several times and when
Yahoo is used - the answers are almost impossible to find via the site
search. Plus many topics can be addressed much better with pictures,
screen-cam movies, etc.
- Web 2.0 features and screen-cam movies make for a much better
experience. That can only be done on a custom site.
Of course,
users can check whenever they want and also set up a RSS feed. But, we
plan to send a digest once a month of both new free and new paid content to
registered users and subscribers.
Here's the main link to the
site. Registration is required for access to the free areas, and all
that we ask is the opportunity to send an occasional summary of new content
and featu! res -
AmibrokerU Come register,
look around - particularly on the What's New page, and join us in the
evolution of this site. Any and all suggestions welcome. I'll try
to make a specific summary post later of what has been initially
uploaded.
