NDS Developer Jumpstart CD
Now available, the Novell Directory Services™ (NDS™) Jumpstart CD allows
developers to
easily and quickly build network-directory applications for multiple platforms, providing more
value-added
solutions to their customers. The NDS Jumpstart CD contains:
- NDS architecture and theory, technical articles, developer support information, and
additional NDS
developer documention.
- NDS Developer components including Active X Controls, JavaBeans and others
- NDS IntranetWare SDK C libraries
- Over 70 NDS developer samples in C, Java, NetBasic and Active X
- NDS Developer tools: NDS Diagnostic, NDS Rights and a beta of the new NDS Manager,
which
includes the new Schema Manager
NDS Developer Web Site
Now online is the NDS Developer Web site which includes the complete contents of the
Jumpstart CD and
is the place for NDS developers to receive the most current developer components,
documentation and
information regarding NDS development initiatives at Novell. Also available is the NDS
developer web
forum which is designed to share information between Novell and the development community. It
can be
found at http://developer.novell.com/nds
NDS Developer Computer Based Training CD
The self paced NDS module teaches developers step by step skills to build NDS functionality into
an
application. Upon completion, developers will be able to describe how to use NDS to empower
applications
to optimize network access, use the NetWare SDK to extend the NDS schema and write a snap-in
for
NWAdmin as well as use the NetWare SDK to write code which will enable a client to use NDS
to access
an optimal instance of a service on the network.
DeveloperNet
DeveloperNet offers many valuable tools and services to help developers create NDS-enabled
applications.
In addition to the services currently provided by DeveloperNet, these new components have been
added
specifically for NDS developers. Other new features for NDS developers include NDS developer
white
papers, NDS-specific developer support and regular communication and updates of NDS specific
topics
and co-marketing opportunities. For more information, or to subscribe to Novell's DeveloperNet
program,
