1989 North American Amiga Developers Conference
Hosted by Commodore International
We've come a long way, Amigans! Four years ago at the Developers
Conference in Monterey, many of you had your initial opportunity
to learn about the inner workings of the Amiga, that marvelous
new computer. Since that time, both the hardware and software
have evolved to be more sophisticated, more powerful and more
enticing. Subsequent Developers Conferences have given you the
opportunity to continue to learn about these changes from the
people responsible for them. The 1989 North American Developers
Conference is another chance to do just that. As we move into
Amiga's fifth year we know there is more yet to do to realize all
the dreams first shared in Monterey. Devcon, and its focus on
Version 1.4 of the Amiga Operating system, is the next step on
the way.
This year's conference is being held at the Holiday Inn Golden
Gateway in central San Francisco. Conveniently located for access
to all this great city's attractions, the Holiday Inn provides us
with the best of facilities in an informal setting to host a
highly productive conference.
Conference Sessions
Following the plan used in Washington, D.C. during the 1988
conference, we will be running concurrent sessions: software
development, hardware compatibility and marketing/business.
General interest sessions will not be concurrent, and will be
scheduled as group sessions. Some of the topics being planned
include:
Technical
=========
* Overview of V1.4
* Exec
* DOS V1.4
* Incompatibility Risks in V1.4
* New Intuition Features
* ECS and Graphics Library
* International Compatibility and Proper Programming
Practices
* Commodities Exchange
* Writing AMIX Device \sDrivers
* Amiga graphics and AMIX
* Authoring Systems
* Programming the High \sResolution Card
* Application Support Library
* Janus 2.0
* Hardware Compatibility

and others
Non-Technical

Print Advertising
* Sales Opportunities in Commodore's Designated Markets
* Update on Commodore's Marketing Plans
* Advertising Clinic
* Outside Funding for Small Businesses
* Effective Documentation
* Penetrating the European Market
* The Ins and Outs of Export
* Legal Protection for Software
and others.
"Quickstart" Sessions
For those of you new to Amiga development, we will be running
special introductory sessions on Wednesday, June 14th.
Eric Lavitsky will conduct his very successful "Introduction to
Amiga Programming" seminar. The coursework covers programming in
'C' with the Amiga. This all day session comes complete with full
documentation.
Also on June 14th, we will be offering a session on A500 and
A2000 Peripheral Design. The discussion will center on designing
peripherals which will be compatible with all Amiga hardware.
Both sessions are open to all conference registrants at no
additional charge. However, to plan the meeting rooms, specific
registration is required (see registration form).

Richard,
Now I ask you, which is worse. Him doing something silly like including
the ENTIRE message so he could enter one line. Or you including the entire
thing ALL OVER AGAIN!! Notice that I did not include the above mentioned
article. :> :>
