Download: $3.75 uniPaaS 101 is a series of books and videos to teach you the basics of uniPaaS. No previous programming experience is assumed. These books are very detailed and continue the Sorcerer's Apprentice tradition of going step by step through the process.
However, unlike the Sorcerer's Apprentice series, these ebooks also include video tutorials to show you exactly how it is done. There is a series of 15 tutorials in the uniPaaS 101 set, which will take you through the basics of online programming and writing reports.
The zip file includes a CHM and EXE version of the ebook, and a small sample program file. The text is printable. This first lesson consists of about 17 pages of text and 10 videos. All the lessons will probably be published together as a DVD at some point, but for now, it is easier to download them as you need them.

Download: $56.25 Hardcover Print: $86.13 This is a basic programming tutorial for eDeveloper 10. It is designed to get you past the "How in the world does the paradigm work" phase of working with eDeveloper. eDev is way more RAD than any other platform out there, but to do that, it simply has to use a different way of programming. This book will teach you to "think eDev". Then you can use other materials, such as "Mastering eDeveloper" (included with eDeveloper) or the other Cabrita books and classes, to master the various details.

Download: $15.00 So, you've got this really neat ActiveX control or COM/OLE object, and some
Visual Basic (VB) sample code that does just what you want, but you haven't got
a clue how to make it happen in Magic. In this class, we'll go step-by-step to
learn how to “translate” VB-speak into Magic-speak and, along the way, de-mystify
the complex data types (variants, et al) that many such objects implement.
Time permitting, we'll also explore the closely-related topic of calling a Windows
API that requires a structure.
