Cadence SKILL培训课程

课程描述

 

This course provides the foundation, concepts, and sample programs to build working SKILL? programs. It stresses the important SKILL functions that underlie the Cadence? Virtuoso? Design Environment. For each major group of SKILL functions, you complete a working program. The course also covers new database objects, new user interface features, The DEFT utility for managing technology files, the new SKILL IDE for debugging SKILL programs and the latest information about accessing example programs using Cadence Online Support.

 

本课程包含一个核心层次，技能编程导论?然后用更深入的信息、讨论、例子和编程练习来扩展你的知识，使你成为一个更熟练的程序员。详见下面的目标和议程。
