Hi AmiVerse,

We are extremely pleased to be able to host the 3rd incarnation of the AmiWest Programming Seminar. This is a unique event in the AmiVerse, to bring together Amiga developers, programmers, and users to learn from each other and create apps.

In previous years we have taken a more formal approach with seminars and fixed topics. Given the wide range of programming experience on the part of participants, we will try a more free-form approach this year.

The AmiWest Programming Jam!

The programming days will start with a Thursday morning presentation by Mr. Steven Solie, the AmigaOS development team leader, on the status of the AmigaOS, the SDK and AmigaOS API.

For beginners, we will continue on with a group discussion on the coding process. We will touch on how to organize a coding project, how to break a project into manageable pieces, how to get help and how to debug a one's work.

To sign up for the event fill out this form. Visit the AmiWest Programming Seminar page for additional details.

Hope you can make it some year.  MorphOS is really under represented at the show.  I think this year we will have AmigaDave and a few others with MOS systems to show, so we will have something.

@all

This year's AmiWest has great potential.  Last year Trevor announced the X5000 along with a large investment in Amiga PPC Platforms.  What might he have for us this year?  WinUAE now has primitive support for the PPC CPU and can boot OS4 Classic.  Other software projects like Libre Office, AmigaOS 4.2, and updates to Timberwolf have been in progress.  Maybe they will be at AmiWest this year, maybe not.  That's why going can be exciting.

Lots of stuff is going on behind the scenes, AmiWest is the best place to come and talk to the folks that are making all of these things a reality.

Cheers,
Bill "tekmage" Borsari
