Overview: SunGard Data Management Solutions offers C HLI training to assist clients interested in maintaining the efficient vector manipulation of FAME in a C-based architecture. With the information covered in this course, developers will have a solid understanding of areas where they can leverage C HLI within their current C development environments. The course includes hands-on examples after several of the sections.

Duration: 1 day

Prerequisites: Software developers attending the C HLI Training session will benefit from prior experience in both C and FAME technologies.

Objective: Users will gain an understanding of FAME in C-based architecture.
