Online Developer Training Part 1
This two hour course is specifically designed for developers new to AccuRev and is the pre-requisite for the Online Developer Training Part 2 course. This course will teach the basic four commands, keep, promote, merge and update. It will also cover the more advanced features of AccuRev’s unique development concept. Some of the topics include basic and advanced workspace operations, information gathering, AccuWork usage, with a question and answer session at the end of the class.
