As last year Warpstock Europe 2000 again offers a large variety of sessions and workshops related to all kinds of topics:
o OS/2 in General
o OS/2 Applications
o The Internet and OS/2
o OS/2 in Local Area Networks
o OS/2 Development
Everyone, regardless of being enduser, developer or businessman, will be able to find something interesting.
There are currently 21 sessions and workshops, all of which will be held in ENGLISH language. Further information on each session and workshop, the speakers, and a timetable can be obtained from our homepage at http://warpstock.os2.org/en/program/.
Have a look at the following small selection from the program:
o 32-bit Windows goes OS/2 - Project Odin (by Achim Hasenmueller)
OS/2 was "the integration platform" before IBM decided it wouldn't support
Windows 95 applications. The Odin project, which was started in 1997, aims to
fill this gap. Odin has advanced to a point, where it is becoming very useful.
This presentation gives an overview of the Odin project, its architecture, its
strategy for now and the future -- and an amazing demonstration of what the
technology can already do now for home users and enterprises.
o How to write a product review (by Esther Schindler)
Maybe you want to write a review of a new OS/2 program for your user group
newsletter. Perhaps you dream about becoming a freelance writer for a
professional computer magazine. If you market an application, you might want
to understand how the computer press works, so you improve your chances of
getting your program written about. Or, maybe you just want to understand
how the review process works.
This session will describe how the computer press chooses a product for
review, how one goes about examining it, and what the review contains.
o Workspace on Demand V3.0 (by Oliver Mark)
Workspace On-Demand Version 3 is logically a follow-on to Version2, but
technically a revolution in Thin-Client. Beside the discussion whether it was
necessary or not, this Version runs transparently either on Warp Server, NT
Server or Linux and boots a variety of Clients - including of course OS/2. Many
new features to find, even in the new OS/2 Server and Client. Be excited about
a full Server-managed Environment to maintain a low TCO (Total Cost of
Onwership) and have full control of your clients.
o Building dynamic web pages using PHP (by Andreas Linde)
Providing dynamic content for webpages is a key technology on the web. In
this session you will learn how to build dynamic webpages using PHP, the
Apache Webserver, the MySQL database and OS/2. You will also see what the
main differences to other technologies like CGIs, Servlets etc. are.
Stay tuned for more information!
