Will you have an updated video training?

From what I saw in the demo it is very good, but I want to wait for buy it until an update is available.

Hi Kelvin,

Well I wan't impressed at all - I even asked for my money back. I did all possible research before buying and, overall, it looked good in terms of coverage however what you can't tell from the web site is depth of coverage. My main problem with StrataTrain were:

Repitition: Each section is short enough befoe they spend an unbearable amount of time in section B repeating what was already said in Section A. My estimate was that maybe 40% of the content could be removed due to this repition.

Depth: There is no depth - you are much better off reading the SF help system. Let me give you an example. There is a section called RowVersionOrTimeStampColumn under CRUD Settings - this looks interesting you would think. However, this video runs for just 45 seconds!! The insight that Strata Train gives is that into this property you enter the database column name that is used if you have turned on either Optimistic Timestamp or Optimistic Row Version concurrency control - yippee I would never have guessed that! It is also an example of wasting time - the video starts with selecting the BO and navigating to the property - this entirely useless information takes up nearly half of the video. Each section within the CRUD video is like this - about 20 seconds wasted at the start of each video in selecting a BO then navigating to the property being talked about. This is a loooong time given the average run length of each video is probably under a minute. Actually, in the CRUD section of Strata Train, three of the video's run for about 90 seconds and all the rest for under a minute.

I went through the entire course once and have never referred to it again and I'm sure I never will.

I'm finding the SF help system to be very good and the forum support is nothing short of fantastic. The more I get into SF the more I like it - a bit like the proverbial onion - always more to find beneath the surface.

Cheers, Peter
