Advanced Training
FME and Python
Introduction to Python scripting as an extension of FME functionality
Python is a clear and easy to learn programming language with the help of which it is possible to extend the FME functionally. This training imparts knowledge about the generation of Python scripts and their application possibilities in the FME. Practical examples are used to teach the basics of Python syntax. Based on this, Python is integrated into FME Workbench processes. Finally, the possible combinations of FME and Python in different workflow scenarios are presented.
During the training, participants are supervised by an experienced trainer who uses practical exercises to convey the knowledge interactively and can address individual questions at any time.
