Hi

Welcome to Servoy !!! You may find Adrian McGilly’s Servoy primer an excellent place to start.

[http://www.mcgilly.com/](http://www.mcgilly.com/)

It’s a great investment and compliments the efforts of both Servoy’s getting started training videos, docs and the forum.

Good luck !!

Cheers  
Gordon
