RE: [amibroker] AmibrokerUniversity; Direct email forwarding from Yahoo

Nice initiative.  With respect to your statement: “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.” Completely agree.

 

However, that problem can be easily circumvented by forwarding directly to your email address. I have been doing this since the first week I purchased AMIBroker in 2003. (Frankly, I thought that the vast majority of users did this). So for Outlook Express, all AB emails were downloaded to a separate account. In Outlook they go to an AB directory, as well as to the general directory. There they are dispayed in red them to easily recognize them. In the general directory they are deleted after reading.

 

 

Important: Rather than using the Outlook/Outlook Express default directories, I always create my own directories.  This is done to prevent forgetting/losing files when transferring data to a new computer (what happened to me once; don't forget your address book!!)  and facilitating backup.

 

For example, the default Outlook Express directory is buried 6 or 7 layers deep and even than displayed with a cryptic alphanumeric file name.

To change for Outlook Express go to: Tools/Options/Maintenance/Store Files

To change for Outlook go to: Tools/Options/Mail Setup/Data Files

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.&nb sp; 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 occa sional summary of new content and features -

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.
