Tuesday, September 10--Tamar E. Granor: "Make Thor Your Own"

Our next meeting is next Tuesday, September 10, 2013. Tamar E. Granor will speak this month, doing a Southwest Fox preview of her session “Make Thor Your Own.”

Abstract: While using Thor exactly as it's installed offers lots of benefits, Thor also can be customized in lots of ways. From adding your own tools to specifying plug-ins that change the behavior of tools to setting up options for tools, you can tailor Thor's behavior to provide yourself and your team exactly what you need. The Thor Framework and Thor Procs provide basic code that makes it easier to customize Thor.

In this session, we'll see how to take Thor to the next level by adding tools, setting up options, and modifying and adding plug-ins. We'll also explore the Thor Framework and Thor Procs to understand the rich environment Thor provides.
