Customizing Manifold GIS 6.5 with VBScript

Based on overwhelming requests to learn how to write scripts for Manifold GIS, gisadvisor.com has developed a 2 day training course in customizing Manifold GIS 6.5 with VBScript. 

Using the same hands-on video training techniques, this course introduces students to the Manifold GIS 6.5 object model, and uses dozens step-by-step worked examples to teach users how to automate tasks with Manifold GIS. 

Early users of the training have indicated they were able to save THOUSANDS of dollars in consulting costs within the first day of using the training.

The course does not require any programming knowledge to follow along.  Many beta users did not have any programming knowledge and are already programming their own scripts in Manifold.  However, having some familiarity with programming concepts (loops, setting variables, if..then.. statements) will be greatly beneficial.   Also, we recommend you pick up a good book on VBScript or even Windows Script Host in order to have as a reference.
