Format
This intensive 3-day conference brings together educational seminars and
easy-to-follow tutorials with product demonstrations and presentations
from OOP's leading vendors. The mornings of Day One and Two will feature
four tutorials and lectures run concurrently. You can choose the classes
you wish to attend. The afternoons of Day One and Two will feature
concurrent hands-on product demonstrations in hospitality suite style
format. Day Three will feature a series of 1 hour product education
sessions led by representatives from each vendor company. In a classroom
style environment, the representatives explain what their product is, what
it does and how it benefits the user. You are free to move between the
sessions so you can become well acquainted with all the leading OOP
products. Day One and Two will conclude with a BBQ dinner and cocktail
party, respectively, -- an ideal setting to exchange ideas with colleagues
and industry leaders. The third day will wrap-up with a panel discussion
of industry leaders sharing their insights and perspectives into the
future directions of OOP.

Key features of SCOOP
SCOOP seminars and tutorials are instructive, in-depth and user-friendly.
The training is supported by definitive examples and easy-to-follow
hand-outs. These sessions were designed to teach you how to program in
the object-oriented methodology so you can implement OOP techniques into
your company's strategic software plans. The tutorials are conducted at
the Wang Institute of Boston University "state-of-the-art" training
facility which is geared to stimulate the learning process.
Training is conducted by experienced educators and internationally renown
experts in the field who are proficient at teaching OOP techniques. All
featured speakers are excellent communicators and recognized in the field.
Here is a sampling of what you will learn.
* The key concepts and techniques that underline object-oriented
programming and identify the scope and potential it brings to your
company.
* The strategies that successful companies are currently following to
take advantage of OOP.
* Sample the latest products that are available to assist you in
getting into OOP.

the ACM, she now serves on the Editorial Boards of _JOOP_ and _The C++
Report_.
__________ An Introduction to C++ - Robert B. Murray
A discussion of the main features of C++ along with
__________ examples showing how to use these features effectively.
A fairly complete knowledge of C is assumed. Plus, a
discussion of the relationship between C++ and the draft
proposed ANSI C standard.

__________ Advanced Programming Concepts in C++ - 2-day course
Dr. Lewis J. Pinson and Dr. Richard S. Wiener.
__________ Presents details of the C++ language and shows how it
supports object-oriented problem solving. All features
of the language are presented through a set of graduated
examples and selected case studies. Topics include
multiple inheritance and virtual base classes as well as
other new features of Version 2.0.
Dr. Lewis Pinson - President of Computer Intelligence Company and

__________ Using Object-Oriented Data Base Management - Dr. Jeffrey V.
Sutherland
Presents an overview of OOP technology and its applications
__________ to data base systems. The evaluation of three major data
base technologies will be discussed -- network, relational
and object-oriented -- and their advantages and
disadvantages will be highlighted. Emerging knowledge
base systems will be reviewed and the need for an object-
oriented database platform to support these systems will be
emphasized.
