We also send out useful tips in a monthly email newsletter ...
The items included in this newsletter are listed below. Our newsletter go out about once a month - if you'd like to subscribe, just let us know!
It's time! We are delighted to announce the launch of a new two-day course in using AI tools effectively, bookable now (with dates publsihed from the start of September onwards for courses online, in Manchester and in London). As always with new courses we reserve the right to tweak the contents slightly between now and the delivery date.
Staying with the AI theme, we've bitten the bullet and subscribed to Copilot for 365, allowing us to create formulae in Excel, summarise Word documents and write emails in Outlook effortlessly. Well, that's what we thought would happen ...
Having joined Wise Owl in May 2004 Andrew is now celebrating his 20th anniversary. Here he reflects on the past 20 years (with the help of Power BI, naturally). Are you one of the 5,048 delegates he has taught in the last 20 years?
Crack out the champagne: the BASIC language had its 60th birthday on 1st May, 2024 (making it just a smidgeon older than the oldest Wise Owl). Andrew looks back affectionately at his first experience of programming (and shows how you can recreate early experiences!) and also asks: which was the first language you learnt?
We've created a completely new section of our website to hold quick tips on using software, and also hived our tutorials into their own dedicated section (and made this much easier to navigate). You can see details of all of these changes here.
The April 2024 Power BI Desktop update introduced a new 100% stacked area chart, and also some enhancements to smoothed and stepped line charts, but we wait - still - for the release of the big beasts from preview.
To tide you over Andrew's created a five-page report summarising his first 20 years at Wise Owl - it's a thing of beauty (and yes, this is the second link to it in this newsletter!).
Congratulations to Samantha Wareham for winning last month's Easter Quiz prize. You can see more details (and some analysis of the results) here. For this month's competition we invite you to find 24 fun related things in a word search grid, then tell us what the unused letters represent for a chance of winning our £50 prize.
Note that to keep our website content up-to-date we only publish newsletters from the last 3 calendar years.
