The problems vary in their level of difficulty, but no matter how hard the problem is, helpful hints are provided to help guide the reader through them. </div><div><br></div><div>Never before has there been a more fun way to learn how to master the IPT! In my opinion, if you can solve the entire workbook, you can consider yourself an IPT expert. </div><div><br></div><div>To get started, download the <a href="http://gbif-providertoolkit.googlecode.com/files/IPT%20Workbook%20-%206%20Feb%202013.pdf">workbook</a> and the required <a href="http://gbif-providertoolkit.googlecode.com/files/sample%20datasets.zip">sample datasets folder</a>.</div></div><div><br></div><div>With kind regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Kyle</div><div><br></div><div>PS: Feedback to help improve the workbook is always welcome. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
