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.
