OSDA 2002 Lectures Roadmap
I gave four related talks in Tampa at the OSDA 2002 Spring Conference. This is a flowchart of the various http clients and servers and their relation to each other. Each of the lectures has a version of the map with the applicable section highlighted.

112 - Intranet Reporting in UniVerse [map]
How to use free software and no programming to provide access to legacy reports via a web browser. How small changes to existing reports can leverage the capabilities of the internet. Automatically generating reports and tracking their usage. I will share the experience of five years of using this technique in several flavors of Unix.
Notes for presentation to OSDA Spring 2002 Conference in Clearwater Beach.

122 - Web Forms in UniVerse [map]
Using a web browser to dynamically query and update UniVerse using simple CGI scripts and BASIC routines. Parsing input and URL encoding are discussed. Examples include lightweight applications to create and interact with reports.
Notes for presentation to OSDA Spring 2002 Conference in Clearwater Beach.

216 - UniVerse Process Control and Monitoring via an Intranet [map]
A web browser is an ideal client to control and monitor background processes. We can create a clean graphical representation of our PHANTOMs that gives end users a simple restricted control interface and gives IT staff status at a glance. We use more advanced CGI techniques and some HTML tricks to build this robust tool.
Notes for presentation to OSDA Spring 2002 Conference in Clearwater Beach.

222 - Using HTTP to Communicate with UniVerse [map]
There are a host of techniques for communicating with UniVerse, but HTTP is fast, free, and ubiquitous. Using HTTP to support debugging. Moving Data using HTTP with UniVerse as server. Using HTTP with UniVerse as Client. Using HTTP with UniVerse as both Client and Server. Using free software tools to extend UniVerse's HTTP capability. Where to XML and SOAP fit in?

U2 Family Application Development - Test 713 Study Notes [96k Microsoft Word doc *]
This is a set of notes I put together from sparse information on the Internet (Test 713 Objectives/Skills Measured on Test) and cut and paste from online and Acrobat UV documentation.
Note that these notes were assembled before I took the test.
