Ask the company who you will be working for?

ScottyUK thanks for replying. You sounds like a really experienced person in Electrical Engineering. Actually i will be working for control developments limited (www.controldevelopments.com). Actually in this company, i will have to use my own initiatives if i want to learn. If you go to following website, (http://www.microrobotics.co.uk/tech/software-manuals.html). they do have help file for this venom language. But still i think its not enough for me. I need some kind of examples or any kind of good book. Thanks once again for replying.

Can you go on a vendor's course?

Ashereng ....Can u plz give some more description. What kind of courses are they? U mean online training?

RE: How should i learn Venom - SC

Many vendors put on 1 week trainung courses. Call the vendor to see if they put on courses.

Theses are in person courses, with an instructor, other students, course material, sample exercises, and you can ask questions.

RE: How should i learn Venom - SC

Assuming that you haven't promised the company who you will be on placement with that you are already an expert - I know it sounds crazy, but it has been done by people in the past! - it is likely that the company will provide some training for you. Vendor training courses are relatively cheap to a company and probably have tax incentives on top of the obvious value of a trained employee, but they're very expensive in terms of financing your own way through them. If you are UK-based then think in terms of £500 - £1000 for a 1-week course.

My somewhat casual remark about about asking the company was intended to be more serious than it looks in print. Very few companies expect a new employee at recent graduate or undergrad level to have much experience and certainly not to be 'experts'. I've been doing this job for a good few years and I still learn something new every day: there are guys in their sixties who work as consultants for us and for our competitors who have forgotten more than I will ever know about their specialist fields. To me, they are true experts, but they have been learning all their lives. One day I would like to be in their position.
