Alpha Five v10 is by far the most powerful and flexible product we have ever engineered. We have put this course together to help ensure that you have the ability to unleash the full potential that lurks “under the hood” of Alpha Five v10!

Get up to speed fast with this intensive 5 hours training course. Instructor Steve Workings has been teaching people to use Alpha Five for over 10 years. He's also taught the official Alpha Five v10 training courses in Boston and Las Vegas. In this course, Steve takes you through the essentials and some advanced topics using very methodical, clear and proven teaching techniques - so you know how to tackle your own desktop and web application projects with confidence.

From building tables to creating applications - you'll see it all from start to finish. The course is divided into 52 chapters and is 5 hours long. It is modeled on the very popular Alpha Five Version 9 Total Training Course - but the material in this course is all completely new and is based on real world feedback on what people really want to know about and understand when it comes to building applications in Alpha Five v10.
