Another piece of the class that helped immensely was building parameters, temp tables and building internal indexes in a program. Paul also allowed enough time to work with me on some of my data and assist with building some programs so I could resolve a few of my immediate needs as well. This specific help with my data made it much easier for me to apply my training.
