[comp.sys.amiga] DevCon highlights in Amazing Computing

TLIMONCE@DREW.BITNET (06/09/88)

I just got my copy of Amazing Computing (June 88) at the local computer
store and they have a very good summary of DevCon '88.  Some lectures that
I found very interesting (and made me wish I had gone) were:

"...trends in specific Amiga markets (N. America, Europe, and Australia)."

"A discussion on bringing your product to market..."

A big-name PR house, "Fleishman Hillard Pubic Relations gave an 'all you
need to know about public relations' seminar."

"...a panel discussion on standardization of user interface."

"Gail Wellington moderated a discussion on expanding your market to other
countries."


Why do I find these interesting?  The average Amiga software producer
seems to be the small guy and needs a lot of help getting to market.  If
you think writing a program is hard, try marketing one!  I am so glad that
Commodore-Amiga has gone the extra effort to have had such seminars for
the small guy (and gal) software producer.  A hardy THANK YOU.

Another great thing that Commodore did was honor Fred Fish.  We all know
how much love Fred puts into every disk (sounds like a Pepridge Farm
commercial).  Good show!


One quick:
The article mentions "an overview of Service Functions". What are they?
 (...or are they a different name for something I use daily...)

Bye for now...
