How to apply

Complete the task below.

We ask you to complete this as part of the application process because it shows us your programming style and ability.

This tells us you:

can prioritise your workload
can work unsupervised

can produce a solution
are a problem solver
can conceptualise the big picture
can work methodically

The Task

Download the latest version of Omnis Studio from Omnis Softare Ltd. They offer a fully functional version on their website.

Download and complete the 'Introducion to Omnis Studio' tutorial from the Omnis website.

There is also a New Users section, available form the Tools menu (inside the Omnis application) which has some helpful code examples.

When you think you understand how it all fits togetherm have a go at building a small application (this should take no more than two days).

We suggest something like a time/work planner that allows you to enter:

Clients
Employees
Jobs
Task information

Record the number of hours worked against each task etc. using a paletter type window (the window should have some drop down lists to select client, job, task, and have a button to start/stop the timer). Print a summary of the hours, subtotalled by client.
