Welcome to the Node Training thread. As some of you at MDA know, I have been running some informal sessions periodically to cover some of the less understood nodes in our core library. Eventually, this training will also encompass some of the nodes that have been, and continue to be, released in the Lavastorm Labs section of the forum (if you are interested in access, request via the Group Membership section of the Control Panel).

I will update this post or thread with relevant information, and pointers to the threads (that won't be sticky-ified) that are relevant to each of the sessions. Because of that, subscribing to this thread will give you timely notification when materials are made available. During all these sessions, I encourage participation. As I go through them, if some of you have used them in other ways than mentioned, it would be interesting to hear.

These sessions are currently for internal consumption; if you are reading this and you are not internal to MDA, please feel free to join the Lavastorm Labs, to look at the examples that are included in these sessions, and if you are interested in having someone from MDA work with you through this material, please contact your sales person for more information and ways this can be accomplished.

Having used the software for about 1� year i think it would be so great if you would have Webinars going through different problems.
The software itself is very much straight forward, but it would be a tremendous help to see different ways of working.

I just finished the Webinar http://ww2.lavastorm.com/GettingStar...questForm.html and i must say that it is great to hear someone from MDA speaking and explaing about the features.
