These exercises introduce you to the capabilities of the VISUAL LANSA Framework. The first two exercises are common to all Visual LANSA Framework users. With the final four exercises, you will branch into either Web (VLF-ONE) or Windows (VLF-WIN) development.
Please note that the Visual LANSA Framework Guide contains more VLF Tutorials.
With the Web Page or Windows specific development you will start implementing real filters and command handlers, so you need to know how the data you will be using is stored.
The Web Page and Windows exercises are based on the Personnel file, PSLMST which is part of the shipped Demonstration material. Locate this file in the repository and view its properties. You can also see the layout of these files in the Appendix of theses course notes.
