          Six Internet Seminars At Warp Expo West


  These six free Internet seminars have been carefully
scheduled so none are at the same time.  If your interest,
your job or your business revolves around the Internet,
you'll get the knowledge you need at Warp Expo West.


           Web Server Performance and Scalability

  Presented by Robert Chapman, Institute of Advanced
Development Strategies and SCOUG Member.

  Mr.  Chapman will lecture on intranet and internet
response times, file I/O bottlenecks, communication
bottlenecks, operating system constraints, platform issues
and the use of programs, Active Server Pages and Dynamic
HTML and the effect they have on performance, and the new
Application Server architectures and their current and
future ramifications.  Be prepared with your own questions
about your current or planned Internet servers, because Mr.
Chapman will take questions from the floor.


             Quick Start for Netscape Composer

  Presented by Virginia R. Hetrick, Ph.D., Senior Consultant
for CIBER Custom Solutions Group and SCOUG Member.

  Dr.  Hetrick will demonstrate how to design award-winning
web pages using the Composer portion of Netscape
Communicator, including all of its tools and capabilities,
the tricks that add "the look" to your pages, how to
properly organize your page information for maximum impact,
color selection, designing for the multiple resolutions that
visitors may use, layout styles, and headlining.  Bring
printouts of your favorite web pages and learn how their
look and impact can be further improved.


         Technology Overview:  Why XML Is Important

  Presented by Bill Schindler, Editor In Chief of Extended
Attributes, the award-winning OS/2 magazine published by
POSSI.

  Mr.  Schindler will present the reasons that XML is
important to web businesses, web designers and web users,
the history of web languages, the relationship between XML
and the alternatives, the purpose of XML in web page design,
and the business and casual considerations that must be
analyzed when deciding on its usage.  All persons who manage
or design web pages should attend this seminar.


                   Managing Your Website

  Presented by Virginia R. Hetrick, Ph.D., Senior Consultant
for CIBER Custom Solutions Group and SCOUG Member.

  Dr.  Hetrick's background in managing web sites for UCLA
and other organizations has led to a successful overall
strategy for designing and running any web site, from
avoiding the "web wall" to planning your expansion, handling
traffic, tracking usage, what to look for when analyzing
server logs, reorganizing the web site, budgeting the
resources, and handling each of the certain problems as they
occur.  Web site administrators and future administrators
need the training and insights included in this lecture.


               Internet Communication Methods

  Presented by Dave Watson, SCOUG Member and Internet SIG
Leader.

  Mr.  Watson will cover the full complement of Internet
communication methods, from traditional asynchronous
protocols to live interactive sessions, email, mail lists,
newsgroups, Internet relay chat, instant messaging, CUSeeMe,
sending to many individuals simultaneously, the programs
which supply these functionalities, the current OS/2
resources, the importance these capabilities will have in
our everyday lives as bandwidth and processing power
increase, and a changed future as connectivity becomes truly
universal.  Most web users have heard of these capabilities
but are unaware of many of the business and personal uses,
and this presentation will give all attendees the major new
insights into how these technologies are just beginning to
affect our lives and our pocketbooks.


               An Introduction to XML Basics

  Presented by Bill Schindler, Editor In Chief of Extended
Attributes, the award-winning OS/2 magazine published by
POSSI.

  Mr.  Schindler will present a somewhat technical
introduction to XML (eXtensible Markup Language), including
how XML is different from HTML, how to create a well-formed
XML document, parsing and validating an XML document,
creating your own "tags", using DTDs, vector graphics, data
transformations, fast XML design, and design considerations.
XML is the new future language of the web and those who
control web sites need this information to stay ahead of the
competition.
