GLobally very interesting, I didn't know the structure of an EDM. I would like to thank the trainer for his efficiency, his attentiveness and his patience.

Given my job as an integrator, the share interface is one of the components but not the main one for me. Still, it was interesting and well mastered by Jean-Paul.
