"The GiantKillerTraining courses have provided me with a great understanding of the Alpha Anywhere platform.  I have saved an enormous amount of time compared to trying to learn it on my own.  This understanding is providing me what I need to rapidly build great web applications with Alpha!  GiantKillerTraining has done a great job at producing these training series. I wish I had these 3 or 4 years ago!" -- David Weinstein, Besttech

 

"I am really enjoying the GiantKillerTraining system.  I am already and experienced Alpha Anywhere developer, but the training has provided me new insights and techniques that are very helpful to my development.  In fact, I had one aspect of my system I could never get to work right, but the training solved that riddle for me." -- Chris Christensen

 

"We purchased the training for our development team.  One was a new employee hungry to learn the Alpha Platform.  Having foundational training for this employee has been a huge plus.  The training has significantly accelerated his ability to start being productive and deliver on the initial project requirements.   In fact, he was able to assist our net admin yesterday on something that he recalled in from the training, so we have seen immediate return from the training..   The second employee is a report writer and is using the training to expand his ability to tackle complex issues they are dealing with." -- Jim Roberts, Systems 3000

 

"I recently signed up for the Alpha Anywhere training offered through Alpha Software with Mr. Dion McCormick of Giant Killer Training as the Instructor. I started working with Alpha Software in 2008, having moved from Microsoft Access.  The class consists of at least 10 modules of excellent training for both beginning through advanced users.  I have finished the first two modules,  Alpha 100 – Alpha Anywhere Install and Alpha 101 – Introduction to web development with Alpha Anywhere.  While I have worked with Alpha Software  for a number of years, I found both classes exceptional.  I learned a lot of things that I missed over the years in working with Alpha.   Dion is an excellent Instructor, very attentive to your comments and questions and responds in real time to the comments or questions asked.   I would highly recommend that all Alpha users take the courses offered.   I know very little about the advanced features utilizing Xbasic and Javascript and I hope to be able to advance my skills to a much higher level with the help of Alpha Software and GiantKillerTraining.   You will find Dion’s method of training exceptional and learn a lot." --Steve Matranga, Sacramento, CA

 

"GiantKillerTraining has the best quality training material available for both new and experienced Alpha Software developers. In my opinion the training should be required when developing with Alpha products. It is really that good!" -- Robert Hoggan, FleetNotes Ltd

 

"GiantKillerTraining videos are wealth of information that I can use right away. I needed to get a API up and running and watching the Alpha 300 course got me started and up and running in no time. The videos are well made, clear, and to the point with information you can use.  I recommend these videos as a great resource and I’m looking forward to new ones coming out." -- Chuck Stewart, REOTEMP Instruments
