From 28 through 31 May, Statistics Netherlands will organise a Blaise 5 Layout Training, which is a four-day course for Blaise developers. It will focus specifically on how to specify and apply layout using the new tools in Blaise 5. The course is especially useful for existing Blaise 4 programmers who want to know more about how to make the transition to Blaise 5, or who want to know more about the new capabilities of Blaise 5.

New for this course is that it is divided in 3 modules.

Our new video tutorial has just been released. It explains a bit about what session data is, how it works and what you can do with it. You get it for free when you use a primary key in your data model.

The 5.3.0 version has now been officially released. It has build number 5.3.0.1472.
You can find it in the official location on our ftp-server.

This version includes the following new features: Layout language, CARI, ACASI, generic storage, some app extensions and CATI and MVC enhancements.

Our second video tutorial has just been released. It gives a preview of the Layout Language in Blaise 5. This functionality will be available in the official release of Blaise 5.3.0 and we wanted to show how it works.

Up to now, Blaise 5 only supported visually adding layout instructions, but from 5.3.0 on it is also possible to use language to define your layout, like you could in earlier major versions of Blaise.
