            Warpstock '99 Atlanta Press Release
                     September 28, 1999
                   For Immediate Release


Software Developers to Receive Advanced Sessions at Warpstock


  Developers at every skill level will learn new techniques,
concepts and real world solutions in the programming
sessions at Warpstock.  An all-star cast of programming
gurus will present a dozen sessions on software development.

  First, master programmer Timur Tabi (developer of OS/2's
TIMER0, RTMIDI and MPU401 while at IBM) will offer six
presentations at both the beginner and advanced levels.
Start with Timur's "Introduction to Programming", then stay
in your chair for his presentations on Rexx, Assembly
language, and programming the Presentation Manager.  And
don't miss his two-part session on writing Device Drivers,
a highlight of Warpstock '99.

  Next, join John Urbaniak and Gwen Veneskey, the authors of
"Object REXX by Example", for a two part session on
programming with Object REXX.  In Basic Concepts you'll hear
an overview of the many ideas behind object orientation and
how to use them.  Then you'll want to be there for Advanced
Concepts, where you'll learn how to build user-friendly
multithreaded GUI applications containing music, sound and
animation.  John and Gwen work for custom software ISV Aviar,
developers of V-Trex and Oz.

  Finally, Paul Hethmon of Hethmon Brothers and Inet.Mail
fame will present the basics of TCP/IP programming.  You'll
hear Paul emphasize what's different on OS/2 as opposed to
standard BSD style sockets, and you'll hear him cover both
client and server side sockets, hostname resolution, TCP/IP
4.1 and 4.2 differences, and a simple C++ socket class to
encapsulate it all.  Don't miss this presentation on coding
for the information superhighway!

presentations at Warpstock '99, visit

  Software developers of all levels will find exciting new
techniques they can use right now when they attend the
premier OS/2 event of this century, Warpstock '99 Atlanta!


  OS/2 users from around the world will meet October 16-17
in Atlanta.  Visit http://www.warpstock.org for the complete
