Aims

To enable attendees to become conversant with the functionality of Texpress databases at an administrator level, and with useful Unix utilities and commands commonly used by Texpress administrators.

Format

A three day workshop; each attendee has exclusive access to a terminal connected to a Unix machine on which Texpress is installed. Each attendee uses their own individual copies of example databases, and the material taught is reinforced by exercises using these individual databases.
